[gentoo-user] Anyone know why sys-apps/qtparted went masked

A couple days ago I noticed this:

garbanzo:/root # emerge -auvDNt world

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

Calculating world dependencies |
!!! Packages for the following atoms are either all
!!! masked or don't exist:
sys-apps/qtparted

... done!

garbanzo:/root # eix qtparted
* sys-apps/qtparted
     Available versions:  [M]0.4.4 [M]0.4.4-r1
     Installed:           0.4.4
     Homepage:            http://qtparted.sourceforge.net/
     Description:         nice Qt partition tool for Linux

It's definitely not a necessity that I have this, just more or less
curious why after running sys-apps/qtparted-0.4.4 for about 10 months
it changed.

Thanks,
festus

$ emerge -pv qtparted

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

Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "qtparted" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-apps/qtparted-0.4.4 (masked by: package.mask)
# Alec Warner <antarus@gentoo.org> (24 Jul 2006)
# removal by treecleaners, see bug # 140792

- sys-apps/qtparted-0.4.4-r1 (masked by: package.mask)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
