Most likely, an update to a package you already have now requires this. Either mask the update or unmask the package it needs. If the package requiring this is not currently masked in the portage tree, this is a bug and should be reported on bugzilla, although I'd sync and try again before reporting it. > How can I find out which package needs this mask package?
