Hi,

 I got similiar (?) problems here:
 
 1) I had xmms installed, now it is removed (emerge -C).
 2) it is not listed in package.use
 3) It is not listed in world

 I get:

   solfire:/root>emerge --pretend --tree --verbose --update --deep world
   
   These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
   
   Calculating world dependencies -
   !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=media-sound/xmms-1.2.7-r6" have been masked.
   !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
   - media-sound/xmms-1.2.10-r16 (masked by: package.mask)
   # Diego Pettenò <flameeyes@gentoo.org> (23 Oct 2006)
   # Pending removal 23 November for multiple bugs
   # Use anything but this, like media-sound/audacious
   # media-sound/amarok media-sound/mpd media-sound/rythmbox
   # media-sound/muine media-sound/banshee
   
   - media-sound/xmms-1.2.10-r14 (masked by: package.mask)
   - media-sound/xmms-1.2.10-r15 (masked by: package.mask)
   
   For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
   refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
   (dependency required by "media-sound/normalize-0.7.6-r2" [ebuild])
   
   
   
   !!! Problem resolving dependencies for app-cdr/k9copy
   !!! Depgraph creation failed.

 
For normalize and k9copy I get:

   solfire:/root>emerge -pv k9copy
   
   These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
   
   Calculating dependencies... done!
   [ebuild   R   ] app-cdr/k9copy-1.0.4  USE="arts -debug -xinerama" 0 kB
   
   Total size of downloads: 0 kB
   solfire:/root>emerge -pv normalize
   
   These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
   
   Calculating dependencies... done!
   [ebuild   R   ] media-sound/normalize-0.7.6-r2  USE="mad nls -audiofile* (-xmms*)" 0 kB
   
   Total size of downloads: 0 kB
   solfire:/root>



 Systemfailure:
 E_NOIDEA   :)


 What did I wrong here? k9copy seems to have no idea of xmms and
 normalize explicitely say NO XMMS (-xmms)...

 Thanks a lot for helping to solve the knot in advance!
 Keep hacking!
