23 Thanks for all the suggestions. I synced again and the problem
24 persisted. As if that weren't enough, more blocks appeared (about
25 python-2.6.3 depending upon python-3.x [lol?] which I have masked since
26 I don't want python-3). The only solution is to mask
27 "=x11-proto/scrnsaverproto-1.2.0" and "=dev-lang/python-2.6.3".
