I've just read the message more carefully and seen the problem, I only
noticed the profiles/package.mask part, meaning it is masked in your
profile, not /etc/portage, and didn't look carefully at the full path.

This is masked in a profile from the desktop-effects overlay. It's
nothing to do with the official portage tree, but a third-party overlay
breaking things for you.
