Or did you use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS on the command line to install rather than properly add the keywords in /etc/portage/package.keywords? > I did the same with MySQL > because I didn't want to upgrade that either.

Yes, you obviously did something wrong. :) Hopefully the above adresses everything.. -- Bo Andresen
