My normal
   emerge --tree --ask --verbose --newuse --update --deep world
showed that gnome 2.16 is now stable.  The output starts with

    These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

    Calculating world dependencies... done!
    [blocks B     ] <dev-python/pygtk-2.9 (is blocking 
dev-python/pygobject-2.12.3)

I know that when A blocks B, you emerge --unmerge A (or do without B).

But it appears that the version of A mentioned is not installed,
indeed it seems to not be in portage

    ajglap gottlieb # emerge --unmerge --ask dev-python/pygtk-2.9

    >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

    --- Couldn't find 'dev-python/pygtk-2.9' to unmerge.

    >>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge.

    ajglap gottlieb # eix pygtk
    * dev-python/pygtk
         Available versions:  [M]0.6.11:1.2 [M]0.6.11-r1:1.2 2.6.1:2 ~2.6.2:2 
2.8.2:2 ~2.8.4:2 2.8.6:2 ~2.10.1:2 *2.10.1-r1:2 2.10.3:2
         Installed:           2.8.6

Should I be unmerging pygtk-2.8.6 and am I wrong to expect that the
specific version mention in the block msg will be installed on my
system?

thanks in advance,
allan
