Hi,

2

3

I'm upgrading Gentoo nearly each day for 2 years now. 

4

But once in a while I'm lost, like this time

5

6

emerge --keep-going -j2 -1 --ask --update --newuse --deep @system @world

7

gives a lot of blockings which I don't quite understand (and there are

8

so many) - see below.

9

10

I'd be very grateful to some hint how to proceed in such a case.

11

I've already looked at the dependencies of some of these packages

12

but I can't find the reason for those blockings.

13

14

(I'm using portage 2.2_rc33)

15

16

Many thanks for your help,

17

Helmut.
