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 ---> ...)

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 ~).

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.
