If you look at the emerge output below, you will see that all 4 are proceeded 
by [ebuild  N   ] which means they are not installed at all.

Botto line is that e2fsprogs-libs abd ss|com_err cannot co-exist on the same 
system, as e2fsprogs-libs implements what they do. Look at the *DEPEND in the 
ebuild to see what e2fsprogs-libs blocks.

I have a ~arch system, what I did way back when was to simply put ss and 
com_err in package.mask, and everything worked. I also have e2fsprogs and 
mit-krb5 installed, just like you do.
