OK.  Between your post and Neil's reply, success.  I'm not real sure
which hit best but it gave me ideas to try and run with since I was
stuck.  I'm not even sure what all I tried now either.  However, here is
the output of that nifty grep command. 

root@fireball / # grep -r ksane /etc/portage
/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/package.accept_keywords:=kde-apps/ksaneplugin-16.04.1
~amd64
/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/package.accept_keywords:=kde-apps/libksane-15.08.3-r1
/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/package.accept_keywords:=kde-apps/libksane-16.04.1
~amd64
/etc/portage/package.use/package.use:kde-apps/libksane  minimal
root@fireball / #

I did have more than that but I removed everything related and started
over.  That was the end result, after emerge spit out some more stuff. 
I think I had something in there that may have been needed prior to this
but was causing a problem now.  Neil's reply gave me that hint. 

And then a package fails to build.  Now to see what that is all about.  :/ 

Thanks much to both you and Neil.  :-)  If only that other Alan would
listen to you two.  ROFL
