I recently noticed the forced downgrade from x11-libs/libXrandr-1.3.2 to x11-libs/libXrandr-1.3.1. The libXrandr-1.3.2 ebuild appears to be invalid due to a typo: x1-misc/util-macros-1.15.0 should be x11-misc/util-macros-1.15.0 Log: # emerge -p =x11-libs/libXrandr-1.3.2 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=x11-libs/libXrandr-1.3.2" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - x11-libs/libXrandr-1.3.2::gentoo (masked by: invalid: DEPEND: Invalid atom (>=x1-misc/util-macros-1.15.0), token 23)
libXrandr itself does not itself depend on util-macros, it is the xorg-2.eclass which pulls it in. However I cannot see the problem that you describe, the dependencies are set correctly on x11-misc/util-macros.
Looks like that might have come from some xorg-2.eclass, but it wasn't the one from the main tree. 1) Please post your `emerge --info' output too. 2) Try to determine (use grep?) which of your overlays may have the faulty DEPEND.
The only overlay I have is /usr/local/portage, but there's only a few unrelated ebuilds in there. 'x1-misc' appears exactly 0 times in /usr/portage /usr/local/portage. # emerge --info Portage 2.1.10.11 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop/kde, gcc-4.5.3, glibc-2.12.2-r0, 3.0.6-gentoo i686)

I do note that on my amd64 system, libXrandr-1.3.2 is installed without trouble.
Well, when you figure it out, then please reopen this bug report with more information.
