Either you have local masking, you got a bad mirror or you need to resync. This isn't an issue with the current portage tree. Reopen if you look into these things and still have problem.
I've seen this all week and I sync every day. I just synced with rsync22.us.gentoo.org and I still get this. I have no local masking setup. If I look in /usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0/packages I see this: *<sys-libs/readline-4.2
The problem is that you're using an unsupported profile. We no longer support 1.0 profiles. You need to switch to at least 2004.0, preferably 2004.1
I know its a old profile, but I haven't had time to upgrade it since I'll have to stop using it for however long it takes to recompile every single package. And since I've been using this install for >2 years, there are a lot of packages. Also, the profile isn't listed as deprecated in portage. I'm not asking you to fix gnuplot so it works, just make it so I can update world without having it die every time on gnuplot, and to fix it for everyone else who is still running default-1.0. You could just add <gnuplot-4.0 to default-1.0/packages like all the other packages that are locked to older versions in there because of gcc-3 requirements.
Well, that doesn't sound unreasonable since it isn't hard to do. I'll handle this when I have a second.
the 1.0 profile is supported (gcc-2.x) ... but that is the only 'old' profile that is; the 1.3 (gcc-3.1) crap is unsupported
can you please remove that mask and try upgrading your readline and see if the backwards-compat code works ? if so, i'll remove it from the mask
readline-5.0-r1 and gnuplot-4.0-r1 successfuly compiled, and gnuplot runs.
removed mask
