Hi,
hopefully someone can help me!

Trying to update one of my machines I did

emerge --update --deep --pretend world

but it stops early with
All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=app-admin/system-tools-backends-1.3.0" have 
been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- app-admin/system-tools-backends-2.6.0-r1 (masked by: package.mask)


Doing an
equery depends app-admin/system-tools-backends
doesn't show anything.

Furthermore that package isn't installed, yet.

How can I find out which package needs this mask package?

Many thanks for a hint,
