I don't think so. If it is masked, it shouldn't try to upgrade the package. I have a few packages that are masked and when I do my occasional emerge -e world, it installs or recompiles the previous or older version. From what I have seen, if it is masked, portage can't see it. Sort of like when you put a mask on your face. It can't be seen. I do bet there are other ways tho. Dale :-) :-)
