Humm. I seem to be stuck at this one. python-updater is complaining
about vte which is used by gnome and gnome-terminal. I tried unmasking
vte in package.keywords but I still get the same error:

 * Adding to list: =games-board/pysol-sound-server-3.01
 * Adding to list: =dev-tcltk/snack-2.2.10

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies \
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=x11-libs/vte-0.16.12" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-libs/vte-0.16.12 (masked by: )

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

It seems that the developers have deleted the version on my machine
from portage:

I tried building 0.6.14 and got a sandbox violation.

Ideas?
