Brett,
   Your response has all the words I expected to see, but somehow it's not
registering in my feeble brain. I assume that all of the Alsa-1.0.0rc2 set
of packages are masked. I have all of those packages installed. Why does
emerge only mention alsa-driver-0.9.8? Why doesn't it do the same thing for
alsa-tools, alsa-utils, etc?

   Also, what do you mean 'so I ignore it'. I've been ignoring it for a few
days thinking that some emerge sync operation would fix it, but it hasn't.
My method of ignoring it is to explicitly type in package names (i.e.
emerge -U package1 package2 package3) instead of removing the 'p' from
emerge -Up world. What is it you do to get around this? Edit all the rc2
ebuilds?

   I just didn't want the system to emerge 0.9.8 over the top of 1.0.0rc2,
which I expect it will do...

   Thanks very much for the response.

Thanks,
Mark
