21 As it turns out, this wasn't necessary. On running revdep-rebuild, a
22 lot of files were looking for libpangocairo. Thinking that I'm so
23 smart, I tried to emerge this, but of course, there was no such
24 package. A google search discovered that libpangocairo is provided by
25 pango-1.28.x. I only had 1.26.x on my system. 1.28.x was masked, but
26 if fixed my package.keywords file, emerged pango-1.28.1 and that solved
27 all of my problems - I could even do the remaining updates on my system
28 which started with gtk+.

30 Not sure exactly what was going on here, but I'm back and running and
31 that's all I care about. revdep-rebuild has been cleared.

33 Anyway, thanks for all the help.
