Here's the funny part.  I figured out that that file is in the package
newt, who would have thunk that.  LOL  Anyway, I emerge -1 it then when
I tell it to start emerging mondorescue again, it skips the package
mindi completely.

Since I have no clue what this may break, I went back and emerge -1
mindi just in case.  It worked this time, since newt was there.  May be
a bug too.  Now back to mondorescue.

Anyway, here I go again.
