After the latest emerge-sync portage ends up in an illegal state, and I'm not sure how to proceed. Error message follows, but first a few notes: 1) I have and occasionally use media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre8 which is not masked. 2) I generally run stable. 3) I had, but unmerged kicker-applets, but that did not help 4) I had, but unmerged, media-sound/xmms-1.2.10-r15, but that did not help either.
Add --newuse to include and rebuild packages that used to have an xmms USE flag (which is now masked).
5) I would change to an alternative to mplayer if it would help and I knew what it was.
