4 Trying to update one of my machines I did
5
6 emerge --update --deep --pretend world
7
8 but it stops early with
9 All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=app-admin/system-tools-backends-1.3.0" have been masked.
10 !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
11 - app-admin/system-tools-backends-2.6.0-r1 (masked by: package.mask)
12
13
14 Doing an
15 equery depends app-admin/system-tools-backends
16 doesn't show anything.
17
18 Furthermore that package isn't installed, yet.
19
20 How can I find out which package needs this mask package?

22 Many thanks for a hint,
