11 Incidentally... can anyone give even a *semblance* of a good reason why
12 1.2.40 was hard masked on *the* same* *day* that the new/updated (and
13 slot changed in the case of ebuilds were made available? That is
14 apparently what is causing this breakage.

16 I eix-sync and then emerge -pvuDN world *daily*, so this happened on the
17 same day (can't blame this on a lazy sysadmin who only updates his
18 system every few months).
