[gentoo-user] emerge: xorg-x11 requires gentoo-sources

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 world

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

=========

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.

It's probably because something in xorg-x11 is requiring virtual/linux-sources 
and for all normal default-linux/{amd64,x86} thats gentoo-sources. So just 
emerge sys-kernel/vanilla-sources and it should be fine (since 
vanilla-sources also provides virtual/linux-sources).
