I don't understand this error:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Calculating world dependencies
!!! Packages for the following atoms are either all
!!! masked or don't exist:
net-mail/mailman net-mail/dovecot mail-mta/exim
media-sound/beep-media-player net-wireless/hostapd net-firewall/shorewall
/
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "mail-mta/exim" have been masked.

refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
!!! (dependency required by "dev-lang/php-5.0.5-r5" [ebuild])
--------------------------------------------------------------
I don't have that old version of php installed and what does this mean? How
can the latest version be LESS than what I have installed?!
* dev-lang/php
Latest version available: 5.0.5-r5
Latest version installed: 5.1.1
daevid ~ # emerge -Ca dev-lang/php
>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:
dev-lang/php
selected: 5.1.1
protected: none
omitted: none
I do have some packages masked so as not to destabalize my server, but that
doesn't explain the above errors. Plus there may be other packages I'd like
to upgrade, but I can't "see" them until "emerge -Davu world" can get past
that dependency issue above.
daevid ~ # cat /etc/portage/package.mask
>=mail-mta/exim-4.54
>=mail-mta/ssmtp-2.00
>=dev-lang/php-5.1.1
>=net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r4
>=net-mail/dovecot-0.99.14-r1
>=net-wireless/hostapd-0.4.7-r1
>=net-firewall/shorewall-2.4.2
And finally, I tried:
USE="~x86" emerge -Davu world
Shouldn't that just "unmask" everything and at least get past the error?
