For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Sync again, glib-2.16.3 is not masked in the profile here.
Synced and nothing changed.
Where should I look for? 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.

Thanks! How silly was I not reading that.
Now, what should I do? Ask to the desktop-effects guys? And *why* does
an overlay mask things from the *main* portage tree? Is this normal?
I'm confused.
