  Strange! So it is installed already? Did you chaneg USE flags, so it gets
  emerged again? Or did something go wrong when installing it the last
  time?
 
  I have no idea, I wouldn't think what you see is possible at all.
 
 neon got moved from net-misc to net-libs.  It's just that the maintainer
 forgot to rename the package if already installed.  In those cases, you
 either wait till the maintainer renames it, which will be picked up in
 the next sync, or you just unmerge and then update again.

Thanks guys!  A resync this morning did it a world of good!
