Well, as a temporary hack, I went ahead and 'injected' the latest
unmasked versions of Tcl/Tk (dev-lang/tcl-8.3.4 and
dev-lang/tk-8.3.4-r1). Now, `emerge -pvuD world' doesn't try to
downgrade Tcl/Tk, but `emerge -pvUD world' is still returning errors.
This will serve me well until I install another masked package (which
isn't likely to happen any time soon).

I *really* wish these packages were slot aware. In addition to this
mess, I can't emerge PyOpenGL (I'm not the only one:
<http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32070>). I'm *this* close to
downgrading Tcl/Tk and installing the new versions "by hand", but then I
remember that I switched to Gentoo precisely because I was tired of
circumventing my old distro's "package manager".

Just another whining user,
Eamon
