Why did you have 2 versions installed in the same slot?
(In reply to comment #1) > Why did you have 2 versions installed in the same slot? > No idea what could have happened. The machine was installed in 2006 or 2007 and at that time mysql used slots for mysql-4.0, mysql-4.1, and mysql-5, if I remember right. Maybe a remnant from that time? BTW, what I do not like with emerge is the fact that it does not warn me about such issues.
There has been no slotmove in profiles/updates for mysql which would have explained it. Looks to me something has been messed up in your /var/db/pkg.. Closing as WORKSFORME.
