24 This is normal, it's informing you that those packages are masked, but
25 not actually blocking the other updates. If you do:
26
27 #emerge -e world -av
28
29 i.e ask instead of pretend, it will output those warnings, and then ask
30 you if you want to proceed with updating the rest. I'm using the
31 unstable portage, but I'm pretty sure it's worked like this for quite a
32 while on the stable branch too.

34 Good luck :).
