Hi. I updated the tree yesterday using git. Now, in this mornings
batch of announcements, I am finding lots of packages no longer in the
tree -- one of them is app-admin/logcheck . Another is rxvt. Now, I
don't use these packages, but I am wondering if something has gone
wrong with my tree?
I don't have either of those packages in my tree, so we're in the same
boat. I don't know about rxvt (rxvt-unicode is still in the tree), but logcheck was lastrited on the gentoo-dev mailing list a while back, so
I assume it was expected to disappear.

Logcheck was removed because it had a security issue that I reported
five years ago and nobody has cared enough to fix it since then. It was package.masked for a while too and nobody complained.
x11-terms/rxvt was not removed recently. Do you mean mrxvt? If so, I
think it was removed for a similar reason:

think it was removed for a similar reason:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/791004It was mrxvt. But why would the announcement list specify valid
versions for those packages, if they have been removed?

It specifies the affected versions that were in the tree, probably
because those are what people may have installed. It also states "
Resolution
==========
Gentoo has discontinued support for Mrxvt. We recommend that users
remove it:
# emerge --ask --depclean "x11-terms/mrxvt"
with similar recommendations for the other packages you mention, except
for oracle-jdk where it recommends alternatives.
