As Penny on Big Bang Theory says 'Oh crap on a stick'. rstudio was
marked as ~amd64 I forgot to look at my keywords file. I removed the
rstudio ~amd64 entry there and it works fine now:

c2RAID6 ~ # vi /etc/portage/package.keywords/package.keywords_file
c2RAID6 ~ # emerge -pvDuN rstudio

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U  ] sci-mathematics/rstudio-0.98.490-r1 [0.98.490]
USE="(-dedicated%) (-server%)" 0 KiB

Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
c2RAID6 ~ #

Stupid me but that's better as there's no portage bug, just a buggy user.

Thanks Rich!

Cheers,
Mark
