uwix uwe # equery list gtk-doc-am
[ Searching for package 'gtk-doc-am' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
uwix uwe # equery list gtk-doc
[ Searching for package 'gtk-doc' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [  ] dev-util/gtk-doc-1.8-r2 (0)

gtk-doc-1.8-r2 is the package that gets blocked, it isn't installed 
yet..

More interesting is that the first equery didn't list anything, but 
the gtk-doc-am ebuild exists:
uwix uwe # ls /usr/portage/dev-util/gtk-doc-am
ChangeLog  Manifest  gtk-doc-am-1.10.ebuild  metadata.xml

Grrrr. Wanted to let a long compile sesses run overnight - and now 
this! Conspiracies. All around me. Against my innocent self.
