6 virtual/mysql is a new-style virtual which was added to the tree a couple of
7 days ago [1]. New style means it's a separate ebuild in
8 /usr/portage/virtual/mysql rather than a PROVIDE variable in the ebuilds that
9 provide it. The mythtv ebuilds now depend on the virtual.

14 Huh? You mean package.keywords? Why, 5.0 is already stable?

35 So you've added >=dev-db/mysql-5 to /etc/portage/package.mask without adding
36 >=virtual/mysql-5? Or you need to sync?

41 Since the virtual wasn't added to the tree until a couple of days ago it isn't
42 installed on your system yet.
