63 I think I tried that. I ran this command with both blockers unmerged:
64
65 emerge -1v rpm2targz gpm mpfr eix libarchive
66
67 Thing is, it pulled both the blockers back in again. I also tried
68 removing those two blockers and just doing the HUGE update, it still
69 gripes about the block.

71 I synced last night. Could it be that I need to sync again? Maybe
72 something was in the process of changing when I synced?
73
74 Thanks.
