I'm not the best at this.  It looks to me like you are going to have to
allow the masked version of libvert and possibly the other one to if
they tend to update in sets.  Otherwise, you may have to mask a lot of
other packages until you can use the newer libvert packages. 

I run a mixed system here, some stable, some unstable.  Sometimes it is
hard to get the combination right so that you can be up to date and not
be running behind on some important packages.  It's like walking a tight
rope at times. 

Hope that helps.  If not, someone else may have a better idea.
