Well, I'm pretty sure I had re-synced at least a couple times. I usually update about twice a week. I posted about this problem on the 16th and had been seeing it for at least a few days before that. It doesn't seem that a re-sync would really have solved the problem. This is my sync history: Sat Jul 11 12:45:14 2015 >>> gentoo Sun Jul 12 18:27:27 2015 >>> gentoo Mon Jul 13 19:30:28 2015 >>> gentoo Sun Jul 19 20:29:01 2015 >>> gentoo Wed Jul 22 12:43:43 2015 >>> gentoo Since I synced three days in a row, I suspect the problem started on the 11th. I posted a thread on the 16th here. Before I posted about it, I had already re-synced a couple times. It was the removal of the old and broken ebuilds that fixed it but there was a decent lag before it was done. Well over a week it seems. While it is possible to sync and catch the tree at a bad time, this doesn't seem to be the case here. It seems there was just a lag between some updates and removals of broken ebuilds. Dale :-) :-)
