Description Matthias Maier gentoo-dev 2014-10-25 22:56:17 UTC 
media-libs/lcms:0 is unmaintained, has seen no releases since 2009, and (according to upstream) is affected by unspecified serious security issues. Please 

* either upgrade your package to use media-libs/lcms:2, 
* or hard-disable an optional dependency on media-libs/lcms:0, 
* or mask your package for removal.

Thank you!

Package will be masked for security reasons on 30/12/2014.
Comment 2 Tim Harder gentoo-dev 2014-12-31 04:29:36 UTC 
Just to make it clear, my unresponsiveness means go ahead and remove the package from the tree which I assume someone is doing at some point.

It's old and there are probably better alternatives nowadays.
