7 There is only _one_ block:
8
9 [blocks B ] <dev-lang/vala-0.20.0 ("<dev-lang/vala-0.20.0" is
10 blocking dev-libs/gobject-introspection-1.36.0-r1)
11
12 For this block, you either need to upgrade dev-lang/vala to at least
13 0.20.0; or find a version of dev-libs/gobject-introspection that does
14 not have this blocker listed, which is true for version lower than 1.36.
15
16 All the rest that you see is a result of one of the following:
17
18 -> The above block stopping resolution.
19
20 -> A too low backtrack value stopping resolution.
21
22 The solution is to resolve the block and higher the backtrack value;
23 however, if this takes too long, an alternative is to manually
24 oneshot emerge the higher versions (usually listed with "no parents")
25 or alternatively mask them if you don't want to upgrade them. But,
26 before doing that; just trying to emerge again after resolving the
27 block might work as well, so, try that first to spare out work. :)
