32 If my memory serves me correctly, the package you have installed now is
33 being included/transitioned in another package.  In other words, you
34 should be able to uninstall xextproto and the files that were in it are
35 now in xorg-proto.  It may be that you have to emerge xextproto again or
36 it may even require a USE flag change to insure it creates the new files
37 from the old package.

39 If my memory has failed me, I'm sure someone will come along and correct
40 me.  ;-)
