17 I get similar output, if I try to emerge Bash-4.4,
18 but it is prepared to go ahead if it can emerge Readline-7.0 too.
19 If you comply -- I don't want to use a testing version of Bash -- ,
20 at the end of the merge output there wb a list of 18 pkgs
21 which sb remerged, but which rely on a preserved library till you do.
22 Preservation of libraries is a great advance in Portage,
23 making such situations much easier to manage.

25 HTH : others more expert may offer further advice.
