An emerge -pu system works, and emerge -puD system or world does not, giving the following responses: # emerge -puD system These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating system dependencies - !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-libs/db-4.1.25" have been masked. !!! (dependency required by "sys-libs/pam-0.77" [ebuild]) !!! Problem with ebuild sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.12-r2 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. # emerge -puD world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies - !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-libs/db-4.1.25" have been masked. !!! (dependency required by "sys-libs/pam-0.77" [ebuild]) !!! Problem with ebuild sys-apps/man-pages-1.64 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. I have tried removing the masking on all db-4.1.25* ebuilds (ensuring ~x86 is in the KEYWORDS fields) without solving the problem. db does not appear in package.mask. I suspect that portage might not see the syntax of 4.1.25_p1-r3 as being later than 4.1.25, but even that doesn't explain the problems I am seeing.

Can't duplicate this. Masking problems are more than likely profile related.
I can duplicate it ;-) It's happening here. Is there any info I can provide you with?
My /etc/make.profile link was pointing to an older portage tree. I have "moved" my tree to /root/portage, and making the link point to the new /root/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4/ fixed my problem. My old tree is still at /usr/portage, it is just not updated by emerge sync's.
There is no such problem here, I'm not sure why the bug is marked 'resolved'. If the answer was in the previous comment, it escaped me. I have 2 systems that fail to work. How do you fix this?
Please ignore the previous (as I'm assuming you have). It made no sense. I resolved this issue by removing berkdb from my USE flags.
