Hi, Gentoo! After synching, I've got a whole lot of programs to emerge, amongst them being udev-197. :-( I'd rather do this on its own, in peace and quiet, rather than together with 12 or 13 other programs.
emerge -puND world generates these: [ebuild U #] sys-fs/udev-197-r4 [171-r9] USE="acl%* kmod%* openrc%* -doc% -static-libs%" [ebuild U #] virtual/udev-197 [171] . The # indicates the packages are masked in packages.mask, which indeed they are. The emerge man-page indicates that these new versions will nevertheless be merged. But surely this is what the entry in packages.mask is to prevent? Why does emerge want to merge udev-197 in this case? How do I stop it? What am I missing here? -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
