18 The issue is with packages.gentoo.org, whose tables aren't being
19 updated for some reason. I don't know how long the problem has been
20 going on there. I just noticed it yesterday while I was waiting for
21 firefox-66.0.4; the last available firefox packages.g.o shows is 65.0.

23 I'm content to wait for someone to notice and fix it, but there's a
24 contact page in case anyone wants to nudge them.
