did you unmask them from package.mask?

PDEPEND is totally valid. it means "install this package AFTER you install me"

eg, you MUST update openjade after you install opensp.

not a bug. you shouldn't blindly emerge ebuilds directly without knowing the consequences. these are ebuilds that are not even considered stable.
