I'm running the latest version of Portage in Stable, and I'm having a
rather strange problem.  A while back, I copied the XChat 2.0.0 ebuild
and put it in my $PORTDIR_OVERLAY in the right place, so that I could
install it even though it was marked unstable.  Everything installed
fine, but recently when trying to emerge -up world, I get this:

condor@deneb ~ >> emerge -up world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild    UD] net-irc/xchat-1.8.10-r1 [2.0.0] 

condor@deneb ~ >>

I have checked and verified the following:

  - PORTDIR_OVERLAY is set correctly.
  - The ebuild for xchat 2.0.0 is in the right place, and is marked as
stable, just like I wanted it.
  - xchat does not appear in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask.

I believe this started happening shortly /before/ I upgraded Portage, so
I don't think it has anything to do with the new version, specifically.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
