So I did some hunting and somewhat successfully fixed it. However, it now gives me this output which I think could become problematic in the future: --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: =dev-libs/libassuan-0.6.10 ~x86 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: =dev-libs/libksba-0.9.12 ~x86 --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: =app-crypt/gpg-agent-1.9.19 ~x86 This isn't good. It's emerging the stuff now, but I want to get rid of this (the right way, not the it's-still-broken-but-we're-pretending-it's-not way). Anyone know what I did wrong?
