/virtual/rust has been masked & I've been updating pkgs which require it.
One of them is /gnome-base/librsvg , but when I try to update it, I get :

I've searched the bug list for 'librsvg', but nothing seems relevant.
Can anyone suggest a solution ? -- I can post more info, if needed.

Portage told you which info to post when asking for help. Please include
this information (and in particular note that it says to post the
*complete* log):

* If you need support, post the output of `emerge --info '=gnome-base/librsvg-2.57.3-r2::gentoo'`,

Thanks for your very prompt response. Here is what seems to be required :

Thanks. I tracked down the key part:

/var/log/emerge-logs/gnome-base:librsvg-2.57.3-r2:20241117-062927.log :

I believe that's all that Portage asks for : let me know, if not.
Any suggested solutions are very welcome.

You may also notice that at a couple points the logs mentioned something interesting:

warning: setlocale: LC_TIME: cannot change locale (en_SE.UTF-8): No such file or directory

Which implies that somewhere you have set a locale that isn't valid or functional. You also have LANG="en_US.UTF-8", but at least one locale
override exists somewhere -- maybe in your bashrc or profile.

Having a broken locale can cause programs to randomly fail if they're
unable to handle such failures. That appears to be the case here.
