Unfortunately this doesn't help (and I have resynced just before) E.g. here is the complete output of emerge --tree --update --deep --pretend world These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies ... done! !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=app-admin/system-tools-backends-1.3.0" have been masked. !!!
