emerge world not working

I did a world update 2 days ago, I am now trying to run it again but it is blowing up in my face. I looked in the world file and don't see this entry in there, I searched the portage tree and it isn't there (which might be the problem), any suggestions???

root@Inspiron jason # emerge --update world --pretend

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Calculating world dependencies /
!!! Error: couldn't find match for >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.0.0 in gnome-base/libglade-1.99.10-r1

thanks,

Did you remember to emerge rsync?

I checked the portage tree on my system and the packages it is looking for are right there. tried doing some trickery with soft links, but that didn't work either. I will have to read through the ebuild scripts and see if there is anything in there.

yeah those are the same I have in my portage tree as well. I thought that >= blah blah, meant that it is looking for the package with version or greater. I will try to get a few minutes and look at the ebuild.

ok, it looks like gtk+ 2.x.x is masked in the portage tree so I can't (shouldn't emerge that) libglade 1.99 is looking for gtk+ 2.x.x so it can't build. For now I went into /var/cache/db/world and commented out the libglade entry.

I can now run emerge --update world, which I am doing right now. I will just have to make a mental note to update gtk+ when 2.x.x is available and working.

thanks for all the help
