This is weird. When doing:

emerge -auDU @world

Portage says:

============
!!! Problems have been detected with your world file
!!! Please run emaint --check world


!!! Ebuilds for the following packages are either all
!!! masked or don't exist:
media-sound/pavucontrol media-sound/pulseeffects sys-block/gparted

Nothing to merge; quitting.
============

My world file is fine and "emaint --check world" doesn't find anything. 
Also, all these packages that portage claims are masked or don't exist 
are not masked and they exist.

This is on ~amd64.

I'm stumped :-/
