1 I don't understand this error:

3 Calculating world dependencies
4 !!! Packages for the following atoms are either all
5 !!! masked or don't exist:
6 net-mail/mailman net-mail/dovecot mail-mta/exim
7 media-sound/beep-media-player net-wireless/hostapd net-firewall/shorewall

9 /
10 !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "mail-mta/exim" have been masked.
11 !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
12 request:
13 - mail-mta/exim-4.60-r1 (masked by: package.mask)
14 - mail-mta/exim-4.54 (masked by: package.mask)
15 - mail-mta/exim-4.50-r999 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)
16 # Fernando J. Pereda <ferdy@g.o> (25 April 2005)
17 # mask these until the new mailwrapper/mailer-config scheme is ready
18 # it is secure to unmask them to test
19
20 - mail-mta/exim-4.60 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)

22 For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
23 refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
24 !!! (dependency required by "dev-lang/php-5.0.5-r5" [ebuild])

27 I don't have that old version of php installed and what does this mean? How
28 can the latest version be LESS than what I have installed?!
29
30 * dev-lang/php
31 Latest version available: 5.0.5-r5
32 Latest version installed: 5.1.1
33
34 daevid ~ # emerge -Ca dev-lang/php
35
36 >>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:
37
38 dev-lang/php
39 selected: 5.1.1
40 protected: none
41 omitted: none
42
43 I do have some packages masked so as not to destabalize my server, but that
44 doesn't explain the above errors. Plus there may be other packages I'd like
45 to upgrade, but I can't "see" them until "emerge -Davu world" can get past
46 that dependency issue above.
47
48 daevid ~ # cat /etc/portage/package.mask
49 >=mail-mta/exim-4.54
50 >=mail-mta/ssmtp-2.00
51 >=dev-lang/php-5.1.1
52
53 >=net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r4
54 >=net-mail/dovecot-0.99.14-r1
55 >=net-wireless/hostapd-0.4.7-r1
56 >=net-firewall/shorewall-2.4.2
57
58
59 And finally, I tried:
60
61 USE="~x86" emerge -Davu world
62
63 Shouldn't that just "unmask" everything and at least get past the error?
