...(not discussing general usefulness of genkernel)... The message is out of date - the package in question has been sys-fs/lvm2 for quite awhile.
Don't CC arches yourself.
> the package in question has been sys-fs/lvm2 for quite awhile. If I parse this correctly: sys-fs/device-mapper has been replaced sys-fs/lvm2? A long time ago? Why is sys-fs/device-mapper still offered (but "blocked") in the latest portage tree? What about sys-fs/cryptsetup, has this been obsoleted too by something? ---------------- $ emerge sys-fs/cryptsetup Calculating dependencies... done!

Why is sys-fs/device-mapper still offered (but > "blocked") in the latest portage tree? Bug 461382 for sys-fs/device-mapper removal. This bug should be handled now too.
device-mapper is no longer in tree, so now genkernel is instructing to install non-existing package please drop the references :)
(In reply to Samuli Suominen from comment #5) > device-mapper is no longer in tree, so now genkernel is instructing to > install non-existing package > > please drop the references :) There appear to be no such reference in modern genkernel. Closing as fixed.
