Hi, WRONG! :) :) :) I did something different, but it was the same amount of "wrong". I masked =sys-libs/glibc-2.25-r4. And now I remember why I did this: It gave a compilation error: (As some other packages) it has problems with my texinfo installation as it seems. As suggested I run perl-cle

My guess: You have glibc-2.24-r4 and one of the 2.25 with revision <-r4 listed WITH EXACT VERSION AND REVISiON in your package.accept_keywords. The recent glibc-cleanp remove those 2.25 revisions and only left 2.25-r4 and 2.24-r4 Leaving you with the downgrade as only option to get the most recent
