Bugzilla Bug 188033

On my system mysql is masked:

/etc/portage/package.mask: >=dev-db/mysql-5.0

*  dev-db/mysql
      Latest version available: 4.1.22-r1
      Latest version installed: 4.1.22-r1
      Size of downloaded files: [no/bad digest]
      Homepage:    http://www.mysql.com/
      Description: A fast, multi-threaded, multi-user SQL database server.
      License:     GPL-2

After I edit the ebuild to not need virtual/mysql-5 here is what I get:

cthulhu ~ # emerge -pv dev-libs/apr-util

[ebuild   R   ] dev-libs/apr-util-1.2.8-r1  USE="berkdb gdbm ldap mysql
postgres sqlite -sqlite3" 1,761 kB

I'll attach the ebuild log.

You could just comment on bug #184636 itself. This is all soooo "meta". :)

I did and it was ignored. There was no option to re-open that bug.
