I think I tried that.  I ran this command with both blockers unmerged:

emerge -1v rpm2targz gpm mpfr eix libarchive

Thing is, it pulled both the blockers back in again.  I also tried 
removing those two blockers and just doing the HUGE update, it still 
gripes about the block.

I synced last night.  Could it be that I need to sync again?  Maybe 
something was in the process of changing when I synced?

Thanks.
