Updates complete fine, but the message is still there.  Any ideas what's 
causing this?  Anyone else gets the same message?

You have to allow portage to emerge/upgrade dev-libs/ilbc-rfc3951 which
is masked and you have installed in past.

Just add it to package.keywords like my sylpheed-claws:

# cat /etc/portage/package.keywords
mail-client/sylpheed-claws ~x86
...

Cheers!

Usually an emerge would stall until a masked package is unmasked, but relevant 
entries in /etc/portage/* files.  On this occasion an emerge update does not 
seem to try to install dev-libs/ilbc-rfc3951, it just mentions that atom 
error.  The emerge update continues fine thereafter.

Found it!  I had entered:
=dev-libs/ilbc-rfc3951-0 ~x86
in my /etc/portage/package.keywords and this package has now been revised 
to -r1 for unstable.

I believe the suggested entry in package.keywords would have been

    ~dev-libs/ilbc-rfc3951-0 ~x86

(initial ~ instead of =) so that the specification includes version
bumps (null --> -r1 --> -r2 ---> ...)

Use ~ instead of =, which will allow revision level upgrades. It also
allows you to pick up security updates to testing packages without having
to accept every new testing release.

Thank you Allan.  Yes it could have been, but I set it with ' = ' so that it 
would stay at the '0' version until masked as stable.  I am trying to keep 
this box as stable as possible.

That would happen with ~ as well.  That is, it would stay at the -0
(rather than -1, -2, etc).  The ~ just allows gentoo version bumps -0
to -0-r1 to -0-r2 etc.  The trade-off is what happens when -0 is
stable and -0-r1 becomes keyword masked.  I prefer to go to -0-r1, but
I can understand why you might want to stay at -0.  Like you I want to
keep my box as "stable" as possible and keep my package.keyword file
small and restricted (= or ~).
