1 Hi,
2
3 I'm on the way to rebuild all packages using Python to be built with
4 Python3.9, as well
5 I have created the corresponding ebuilds in a local overlay.
6 But many times, emerge cannot proceed because one of the dependencies
7 hasn't an ebuild
8 for Python3.9, yet.
9 Emerge tries to disable python3.9 for that package by an entry in
10 /etc/portage/package.use.
11
12 Looking at the ebuild one finds a dependency for a package which cannot
13 be built for Python3.9, yet.
14 How can I make emerge tell me this type of conflict?
15 I'm using
16 --verbose-conflict --autounmask-backtrack=y
17 already.

19 Many thanks for a hint,
20 Helmut
