1 Yes, confusing. portage bug IMO.
2 Filed one for you:
3 https://bugs.gentoo.org/711474
4
5 But still this should have been possible for you to figure out.
6 Confusing suggestion? Just have a look at the mentioned file.
7 /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
8 Search for tintwizard and find this block:
9 # Andreas Sturmlechner <asturm@g.o> (2020-02-26)
10 # Unmaintained revdeps on dev-python/pygtk blocking its removal, py2-only
11 # All masked for removal in 30 days.
12 # Last release in 2011, bug #708106
13 app-cdr/gtkcdlabel
14 # No plans upstream to port away from pygtk, suggested alternative dupeguru
15 # not packaged in Gentoo, bug #708112
16 app-misc/fslint
17 # Last release in 2012, bug #708124
18 app-text/keepnote
19 # Last release in 2012, bug #708142
20 x11-misc/revelation
21 # Last release in 2011, bug #708150
22 x11-misc/tintwizard
23 # Last activity in 2013, bug #710162
24 sci-misc/pythoncad
25 # Last release in 2013, bug #710164
26 sci-electronics/gresistor

28 Another hint are those linked bug numbers.
29 Just copy one, type "bugs.gentoo.org/" and paste the number.
30 e.g. "bugs.gentoo.org/708112" which is the bug mentioned in the "dupeguru"
31 line.
32 And you see this issue is about fslint. "scratch you head".
