The issue is with packages.gentoo.org, whose tables aren't being updated for some reason. I don't know how long the problem has been going on there. I just noticed it yesterday while I was waiting for firefox-66.0.4; the last available firefox packages.g.o shows is 65.0. I'm content to wait for someone to notice and fix it, but there's a contact page in case anyone wants to nudge them. <https://packages.gentoo.org/about/feedback>
