So, I have had no joy with this at all, could not find a package like
that.  I unmerged the two failing packages, hoping that then the
simlinks would be removed and I could just re emerge them again, but
still no joy.  I either need to go back to the old profile, do a
reinstall (hopefully saving all my settings and world file) or fix the
problem.  I did file a bug and blocked the tracker, but I have heard
nothing from those people.
