26 Well, the answer is that the packages exist but they are masked. You are without a doubt using some older versions no longer in portage, and the versions that are in portage are masked, while yours were stable when you installed them. Add the packages to /etc/portage/package.keywords and they should be possible to update.

28 Or you can unmerge them if you want to.
