Yes, confusing. portage bug IMO.
Filed one for you:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/711474
But still this should have been possible for you to figure out.
Confusing suggestion? Just have a look at the mentioned file.
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
Search for tintwizard and find this block:
# Andreas Sturmlechner (2020-02-26)
# Unmaintained revdeps on dev-python/pygtk blocking its removal, py2-only
# All masked for removal in 30 days.
# Last release in 2011, bug #708106
app-cdr/gtkcdlabel
# No plans upstream to port away from pygtk, suggested alternative dupeguru
# not packaged in Gentoo, bug #708112
app-misc/fslint
# Last release in 2012, bug #708124
app-text/keepnote
# Last release in 2012, bug #708142
x11-misc/revelation
# Last release in 2011, bug #708150
x11-misc/tintwizard
# Last activity in 2013, bug #710162
sci-misc/pythoncad
# Last release in 2013, bug #710164
sci-electronics/gresistor
Another hint are those linked bug numbers.
Just copy one, type "bugs.gentoo.org/" and paste the number.
e.g. "bugs.gentoo.org/708112" which is the bug mentioned in the "dupeguru"
line.
And you see this issue is about fslint. "scratch you head".
