[gentoo-user] world update gone astray portage will not let me continue

[John Covici]

Hi.  I am having major problems with my world update started a couple
of days ago.  There is a long history which I won't go into now, but
what I have immediately is that media-libs/harfbuzz will not install
and even though I have --keep-going, portage won't let me continue.

Here is the last part of the build log:

/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/harfbuzz-2.8.2-r1/work/harfbuzz-2.8.2/docs/../src/hb-unicode.cc:180:

After that portage says
*** Resuming merge...

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

Calculating dependencies  ..... done!
 * One or more packages are either masked or have missing
 dependencies:
  *
   *   >=dev-libs/icu-51.2-r1:0/68.2=[abi_x86_64(-)] pulled in by:
    *     (media-libs/harfbuzz-2.8.1:0/0.9.18::gentoo, installed)
     *
	 * The resume list contains packages that are either masked or
        have
	    * unsatisfied dependencies. Please restart/continue the
        operation
	    * manually, or use --skipfirst to skip the first package in
        the list and
	    * any other packages that may be masked or have missing
        dependencies.

I have icu 69.1 installed.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated on this one.  If you need
it I can give you more of the history of this update lots of problems
around virtual/libcrypt which I think I have now fixed.
