I am getting a blockage involving device mapper

[ebuild     U ]  sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.9 [1.41.3-r1] USE="nls" 485 kB [0]
[blocks B     ]  <sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.8 ("<sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.8" is

[blocks B     ] sys-fs/device-mapper ("sys-fs/device-mapper" is blocking 
sys-fs/udev-146-r1)

I looked on bgo and found posts today involving this.  They were
"resolved" by noting "device-mapper was merged upstream into lvm2.
Emerge a recent lvm2, it will automatically
unmerge old device-mapper."

I am not running lvm2 on this machine.  I have device mapper because

  sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.0.6-r2 pulled in by:
    sys-apps/hal-0.5.12_rc1-r8

  sys-fs/device-mapper-1.02.24-r1 pulled in by:
    sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.0.6-r2

Does this mean I should emerge lvm2 even though this machine does not
use logical volumes?

thanks,
allan
