but there's nothing in package.mask 

why's this so ?
i'm using the latest gentoo sources and the latest portage tree
Comment 1 Throstur Svanbergsson 2002-10-07 05:36:01 UTC 
This is due to your profile, you are probably using default-1.0 - if you upgrade to default-x86-1.4 
(gcc 3.2 etc) then linux-headers is merged as version 2.4.19. So check out /usr/portage/profiles
Comment 2 Brandon Low (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-10-07 17:47:36 UTC 
headers should only be updated when you remerge glibc.  In short each gentoo 
version will be based on a certain headers and glibc version... so it will be 
somewhat outdated until you do a full gentoo upgrade including recompiling 
glibc.
Comment 3 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-10-08 02:41:36 UTC 
this happens on a new gentoo install aswell, installed it on 4.okt 20002
gentoo iso 1.2
Comment 4 Brandon Low (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-10-08 07:58:26 UTC 
Cough, as I said headers versions are assigned per gentoo version.  If you do a
fresh 1.4 install it uses 2.4.19
