18 Most likely, an update to a package you already have now requires this.
19 Either mask the update or unmask the package it needs. If the package
20 requiring this is not currently masked in the portage tree, this is a bug
21 and should be reported on bugzilla, although I'd sync and try again
22 before reporting it.
