The blocks regarding sys-fs/e2fsprogs, sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs,
sys-libs/ss and sys-libs/com_err were discussed recently on this list.
Basically you need to:
emerge -f e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-libs
emerge -C com_err ss e2fsprogs
emerge -1 e2fsprogs
I'm not sure about the others, but fixing these should get you closer
to an up-to-date system. :)
