It's not a circular masking problem, mesa is package.mask'd, as in proper-unstable-breaks-the-tree-broken masked. > Its probably simple enough but not apparent to me. You could add media-libs/mesa to /etc/portage/package.unmask, but that will lead you into the (also package.mask'd) modularized X. Modularized X is obviously not ready for unstable, and the version of mesa in the tree depends on that modularized version to work. I don't think you are going to get mesa installed without a fair bit of trouble. -- Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
