For some reason, portage-2.1_pre1 will block everyone to emerging certain ebuilds because it iterperates or evalutes the keywords wrong. For intance, the folling packages app-text/unix2dos-2.2 games-action/trackballs-1.1.1 net-analyzer/ettercap-0.7.3 x11-themes/gdm-themes-2.0-r2 have somehow become keyword masked ever since I upgraded portage. Changing ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to x86 or ~x86 does not help. Fiddling with /etc/portage/package.keywords has not helped either.
Please include the output of `emerge --info` and also attach your /etc/portage/package.keywords file. The exact output of emerge when you try to install these packages may also be needed.

This is strange. I suggest that you `emerge --sync` and try again. If that doesn't help, `rm -rf /var/cache/edb/dep/* && emerge --metadata` might fix it.
Thanks, that worked. It appears that simply running "emerge metadata" after the upgrade it not enough.
