On one of two gentoo (x86_64 AMD Opteron) systems I just emerged the new portage-2.1 on, emerge is requiring gentoo-sources as a dependency required by "x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7". Why? The 2nd system with an identical 2.6.16.20 vanilla-sources kernel does not have this problem.I tried removing the /usr/portage/x11-base directory and then running "emerge --sync". Which works buth then:# emerge -pv -u --deep worldThese are the packages that would be merged, in order:Calculating world dependencies /!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" have been masked.!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r7 (masked by: package.mask)# don't want gentoo-sources- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r7 (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword)- sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.31-r1 (masked by:

Problem resolving dependencies for sys-apps/portage!!! Depgraph creation failed.=Yes, I do use /etc/portage/package.mask to mask out gentoo-sources, but I have done that for years. (Also, my 2nd system has the same package.mask and doesn't have a problem with xorg-x11.)Any suggestions on how to fix this dependencies issue? I suspect a portage cache issue that 'emerge --sync' is not fixing.
