More importantly, I would like to know why MUST I update to
MySQL 5?

Im running 4.1 quite happily and have mysql-5 masked out in
/etc/portage/package.mask.

Why do you think you "MUST"? I doubt that there
exists a law that says that 
you have to upgrade or you will be sent to jail if you
don't.

What's the problem then?

Nothing - apart from not being to *any* updates:

# emerge -uDtav world

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

Calculating world dependencies |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy
"=dev-db/mysql-5.0*" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to
complete your
request:
- dev-db/mysql-5.0.26-r1 (masked by: package.mask)


For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the
emerge man page
or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "virtual/mysql-5.0"
[ebuild])



!!! Problem resolving dependencies for dev-db/mysql
!!! Depgraph creation failed.





Nice.

Ah. And you chose to not provide the slightest hint of what
you're really 
talking about in your first post, because...?

To me, this seems to indicate that masking virtual/mysql-5.0
too might help.

You need to mask the virtual package that's depending on
that, not the 
mysql package itself.

$ sudo sed -i -e 's,dev-db/mysql,virtual/mysql,g'
/etc/portage/package.mask

Thanks,

So, does this mean I can no longer get any updates for
dev-perl/DBD-mysql
without upgrading to MySQL 5?

Looks like DBD-mysql depends on that virtual but I do not
wish to upgrade
(I already have DBD-mysql installed and working with MySQL
4.1.

No, that's not what it means.
