The header looks sane to me at that place, no later patches to it from upstream. Any ideas? What more info do you need from me?
You're probably mixing ~arch and stable packages. Check your packages.keywords and packages.unmask. Thanks
(In reply to comment #1) > You're probably mixing ~arch and stable packages. Check your packages.keywords > and packages.unmask. I don't see how that makes the bug invalid. I had xorg-server-1.7 masked, nothing related else. Also, with "emerge --update @world" I run into a mix of testing and stable over time anyway.
Reopening
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=291312#c12 is what you need if you want to stay with xorg-server 1.6. Thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 291312 ***
