35 I have had a similar issue with a Python GLSA. Have you checked to see
36 if you have multiple versions installed (in slots)?

38 Try 'emerge --unmerge --pretend goffice' and see if it offers to unmerge
39 multiple versions. You may simply need to unmerge the vulnerable version
40 to sort things out.
