The mysql.eclass seems to make it impossible to install mysql-community on an empty system. It introduces a dependency on DBD-mysql which relies on virtual/mysql, which excludes mysql-community. I'm not sure what the right way to patch this is. It does work if you install virtual/mysql then just remove dev-db/mysql and install dev-db/mysql-community -- clearly not desirable. > emerge -vp =mysql-community-5.0.67 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Better workaround is to disable the perl use flag. mysql maintainers should probably consider turning it off by default so that emerging works out of the box with the default use flags.
This should vanish with portage-2.1.6/2.2 that has better blocker resolution. Please test that, and reopen if it doesn't, there's no other option really. You really do want to have the Perl stuff for mysql, as lots of the scripts it installs (including the mysql_install_db for emerge --config) need it. It's only optional because we used to get lots of complaints that it wasn't. If you absolutely need a workaround in the meantime, just add "dev-db/mysql" to your local package.mask, emerge mysql-community, and then take it out of the package.mask.
Thanks, updating to portage-2.1.6.1 worked for me.
