Saw the same thing here this morning, and have seen it a couple of
times in the past. My strategy is to sync tomorrow and try again or
mask the package if you need to move forward tonight. (California
time, 6:21PM as I write this)

Looking at the package list:
http://packages.gentoo.org/package/gnome-base/gconf?arches=fbsd

gnome-base/gconf is not mark stable or testing at all, there is a blank space.
gconf-2.32.4 was already installed on my system, emerge is trying to rebuild it only, but since it is not available it fails.

Sorry for replying to my own; must have deleted OP.

This morning's world update only wanted to rebuild gconf because they made the
gtk dep optional and dropped the doc USE:

[ebuild   R    ] gnome-base/gconf-2.32.4:2  USE="gtk%* introspection -debug -ldap -policykit (-doc%)" 0 kB

It was still listed the same by eshowkw in portage, after eix-sync; and it
built with no problems here.

Are you still having a problem with this?

It's fine here also. I expect the OP will be fine also.

Like I said yesterday, bugs happen. Wait a day. They get fixed.

This sandbox violation seems to show up maybe once a year? Don't know
why but it gets fixed fast.

Cheers,
Mark
