Hmm, try upgrading to 1.64-r1: that solved it for me.
I'm assuming you are referring to texi2html here. Are you sure that this was the fix? Changing ACCEPT_KEYWORDS for texi2html pulls in a LOT of other packages that are masked, a couple of them look like more likely culprits. sabre prc-tools # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -upv texi2html These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Well, I just manually ran "emerge /usr/portage/app-text/texi2html/texi2html-1.64-r1.ebuild" and it seemed to do the trick. Doing it with -upv gave me the same list of DEPENDs as you, only mine seemed to be even more out of date...
Ah, now I have learned a litte more about what the -u flag does. I got into the habit of using it because it prevents rebuilding things that already exist. I thought that was pretty much its sole purpose. This has been a learning experience. prc-tools-2.3 is now happy. Thanks.
I'm solving this as FIXED since a remerge of either the -r1 or the-non-r1 texi2html solved the issue here - if that doesn't do the trick please feel welcome to reopen this bug so we can sort this out with the app-text maintainers. Thanks!
Should the DEPEND for the ebuild be changed to the -r1 ebuild for texi2html? I just had the same problem and emerging the new texi2html (and only that package) fixed the problem for me.
