You have it backwards. Something else you have previously installed wants to upgrade udev to version 9999 because it's ebuild says so. Whether you have udev-145 installed or no udev at all, that package will still try to emerge udev-9999. You need to find out what that package is. emerge with -t will show this. Very little else will. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
