In all likelihood that particular package used a format which is for whatever reasons is no longer valid. I would simply unmerge the package and either manually merge a version that now exists in portage or continue your update and it will likely get pulled in as a dependency. > Is this related to the current modular use of X11?

Best practice when dealing with blocks: unmerge the package(s) which is blocking (in your case <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9), then continue where you left off before. Continue as necessary. -- Albert W.
