1 Morning all,
2
3 Today I see that virtual/modutils has been masked for removal in 30 days. The
4 notice says "no consumers in the tree", but app-emulation/virtualbox-
5 modules-6.1.12 requires virtual/modutils here.
6
7 I don't know where that dependency comes from: I can't see any reference in
8 the ebuild.

10 Is my virtualbox going to stop working? If so I'll have to stop running at
11 least some of my BOINC projects - and they were the reason for buying such a
12 powerful machine in the first place.
