Thanks everyone! :-) Problem is solved. And it was basically my fault. For some reason, I had masked ">sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41". Thanks AllenJB for "whacking me on the head" and making me realize this! :-) I got so caught up with the fact that I had removed e2fsprogs and was getting collisions and was afraid I wouldn't be able to reboot my system that I never thought to look. I don't usually have too many problems with Gentoo and updating my system, but when I do run into a snag, it's always a lesson learned that I won't forget again. Thanks again everyone!
