Loggers confused after multiple merges/unmerges?

Hello,

I recently reinstalled my gentoo-alpha system after the data loss I 
reported on this list about a month and a half ago. This time, I wanted 
to try loggers out before arbitrarily choosing one, so I first emerged 
syslog-ng with logrotate, then unmerged it and emerged metalog, and 
finally unmerged metalog to re-emerge syslog-ng and logrotate. (I think 
I've settled on that one now :-)

The problem is that ever since I first unmerged syslog-ng, emerge and 
rc-update give me the following messages :

 *  Service 'metalog' already provide 'logger'!;
 *  Not adding service 'syslog-ng'...

And they still give me those messages, even though metalog is supposed 
to be uninstalled. In case it has anything to do with it, I had stopped 
the services and run "rc-update del" before unmerging them.

What's causing this, and how do I fix it? It's not really that 
important, the logs get written anyways, but it's annoying.

Thanks in advance,
