42 Hi James,
43
44 My guess is that you've unmasked sys-fs/udev-196 only partially.
45 Portage tries to calculate the dependencies for it and finds that
46 something is still missing (e.g. you need to ~amd64 more packages) so
47 Portage stops with sys-fs/udev and tries to satisfy virtual/udev with
48 eudev instead.
49
50 Try an "emerge -pv =sys-fs/udev-196-r1" and see if that gives any
51 reason why Portage isn't happy with it.
52
53 HTH,
54 Bryan
