Description Alan Hourihane 2009-12-11 18:47:30 UTC 
It seems as of linux-headers-2.6.28-r1 that the ebuild says "-mips" instead of "~mips" and therefore is unmergeable.

2.6.29 and 2.6.30 kernel headers also have this.
Comment 1 Alan Hourihane 2009-12-11 18:48:56 UTC 
Oh, reason being is that sys-fs/udev-149 depends on it.

qube ~ # emerge -puD --newuse world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! Ebuilds for the following packages are either all
!!! masked or don't exist:
virtual/bootloader

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.29" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.30-r1 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.29 (masked by: missing keyword)

For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "sys-fs/udev-149" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "world" [argument])

udev is broken.  virtual/os-headers exists for a reason.  linux-headers is not supposed to be keyworded for mips.

Ok, once I can express ">=sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.29" in terms of virtual/os-headers I can fix udev ebuild.
But as far as I can see, os-headers is still an old-style virtual :(

Is DEPEND="virtual/os-headers !<sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.29" an acceptable solution?
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2010-02-13 07:59:57 UTC 
you're free to block non-virtualized packages.  no idea why udev needs newer linux-headers in the first place though ... sounds like udev is even more broken.
Comment 6 Matthias Schwarzott gentoo-dev 2010-02-13 14:48:41 UTC 
udev needs >=linux-headers-2.6.29, as older versions did not provide bsg.h
Comment 7 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2010-08-23 06:23:22 UTC 
Matthias: so just change the dependency into a blocker:
    virtual/os-headers !<sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.29
