The mysql ebuild will terminate in the src_unpack function patching a file related to gimpprint (I am afraid I do not have the error message at hand). I believe this is due to the use of the 'cups' option in my USE variable. After a manual emerge of the latest gimp-print ebuild, the mysql emerge went smoothly.
Is this on the 4.0 ebuild or the latest 3.x ebuild?
I've had the same or similar problem and it was fixed by unmerging gimp-print- cups, emerging mysql, then emerging gimp-print-cups afterwards. Everything works fine if you do that, and I believe there is another bug report on this issue. This is for mysql 3.x.
Present in mysql 3.23.51
can someone paste the actual error message?
closing for now
