Would seem that 1.1 is still masked. You can do emerge -p gettext make groff ... to make sure that mozilla won't be emerged, then remove the -p option to do it for real. Replace '...' with other ebuild names you want to emerge.

Yeah that's another thing I unmask mozilla 1.1 from /usr/portage/profile/packages.mask and when I try to emerge -p mozilla it was still giving me the 1.0.1 version eventhough I unmask it ....

If I have to do one by one manually everytime there is a new package to update this is odd ...'

I forgot to mention that I had 1.0.1-r1 before and unmerge it and re emerge with version 1.1 ...

Hum I can't remember... but I unmerge and re emerge right after and I never rsync when I do that ... I know the package.mask is overwritten

is there a way to remove mozilla from the update list ??? because I want to update evolution but he need mozilla before and I dont want to update mozilla cause its not the good version and I dont want to screwd up my gentoo install just for mozilla

You can basically unmask everything by putting ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" into your make.conf. See if that lets you keep your mozilla 1.1. Be careful about updating other packages, though.

well adding this variable didn't get rid of mozilla 1.0.1r2 .... so I still have to update to update evolution.

So my only option left is to unmerge mozilla and make sure there is no mozilla anymore and remerge mozilla ???

What do you mean by 'get rid of'?

Well rac suggest I try the variable ACCEPT_KEYWORD so it will unmask all dev pacakge so since mozilla 1.1b is in the masked pacakge maybe if I used that variable it would let me stick with the version 1.1b but it still want to update to 1.0.1r2 which I dont want to.

I tried to "protect" the mozilla package using the method from this thread :
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=15808

but emerge stil want to update the pacakge.

I tried net-www/mozilla didn't work
I also tried net-www/mozilla-1.1-r1 (the version i'm running right now)

and i tried net-www/mozilla-1.0.1-r1(the version before the one he want to update to)

any idea ?

Edit: I tried to put = < > befire net-www but no luck.

Your not alone, it is a frustrating problem and one that applies to other builds including glibc and even portage itself. I'm using 2.0.42 yet an emerge -up portage tells me to "upgrade" to 2.0.38.

bash-2.05b# emerge -pu --deep glibc

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] sys-libs/pam-0.75-r9
[ebuild U ] media-libs/freetype-2.1.2-r1
[ebuild N ] media-libs/fontconfig-2.0
[ebuild N ] app-arch/cabextract-0.6
[ebuild U ] x11-base/xfree-4.2.1
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/portage-2.0.38
[ebuild U ] sys-libs/glibc-2.2.5-r7

bash-2.05b# emerge -V
Portage 2.0.42 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2, glibc-2.3.1-r0)
bash-2.05b#

I'm sure there must be something we are missing, just haven't figured out what yet ;-)

You are aware that there is more than one place in package.mask that you have to comment in order to keep Mozilla 1.1, correct?
For a while you only had to comment one place after every rsync but now they've added another and you basically have to comment both manually every time you rsync.
