34 From what i can see, i understand that kbarcode was removed from
35 /usr/portage overlay (that's the source of ?, as it's no more in
36 /usr/portage, then portage cannot determine the source of the ebuild),
37 but add in kde-sunset overlay. It's not an error, just an information
38 message. It doesn't need any fix. Just doing a emerge kbarcode should
39 have done the trick.
