jpeg-7 is masked, Without it any update process stops with this

Incorrect. Something else is pulling it in and you snipped that
output. Your
initial post only says that emerge wants to include jpeg and it
won't emerge
version 7 as it is unstable and your box is stable.
It's from some package that specifically wants jpeg-7 as opposed to
just jpeg.
Most likely netpbm which is hardcoded to DEPEND on jpeg-7.
In my case, it was netpbm. Here's the steps I took to resolve the
problem:
1) emerge -1 -av jpeg
2) Do NOT run "emerge @preserved-rebuild"
3) emerge -av jpeg-compat
4) revdep-rebuild
I hit a problem when trying the "emerge @preserved-rebuild" in that
tightvnc had a jpeg-6b dependency, so pretty much had to use jpeg-
compat.
