media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.19 is marked as stable. It requires sys-fs/udev-146-r1 with the "extra"-USE-flag. sys-fs/udev-146-r1 blocks sys-fs/device-mapper. Both (udev and device-mapper) are pulled by sys-fs/cryptsetup. I masked sys-fs/udev-146-r1 in /etc/portage/package.mask, which worked until pulseaudio-0.9.19 requires this version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge -pvuND pulseaudio or emerge -pvuDN udev Actual Results: output of emerge -pvuDN udev Calculating dependencies... done!
