18 I had this problem the other day.
19
20 I don't know that it applied to the same package names, but the blocking, the :0 slot and the "conflics… build" parts were the same - I remember them distinctly.
21
22 All I did was unmerge the affected packages - i.e. dev-perl/PlRPC, dev-perl/HTTP-Negotiate &c in your case - and then reemerged Perl. Worked like a charm.
23
24 I think genlop depended on a Perl date module that I removed, and I had to remerge it again afterwards. To be sensible you should probably remerge all 4 of these packages after resolving your conflict.
