24 John,
25 Isn't it telling you that you have an old version of a package
26 installed that the latest eix-sync (or an earlier one) removed from
27 your local portage tree? For instance on one machine here I see this:
28
29 Installed packages with a version not in the database (or masked):
30
31 [U] app-crypt/gnupg (2.0.7@01/01/08 -> 2.0.7-r1): The GNU Privacy
32 Guard, a GPL pgp replacement

35
36 dragonfly ~ # emerge -pv gnupg
37
38 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

40 Calculating dependencies... done!

47
48 2.0.7 is current;y installed but it's not in my portage tree. If I did
49 an update I'd get 2.0.7-r1 as a replacement.
