I have no package.mask in /etc/portage.
I've just read the message more carefully and seen the problem, I only noticed the profiles/package.mask part, meaning it is masked in your profile, not /etc/portage, and didn't look carefully at the full path. This is masked in a profile from the desktop-effects overlay. It's nothing to do with the official portage tree, but a third-party overlay breaking things for you. -- Neil Bothwick Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?
