Unmerging the scrnsaverproto package did not changed the message from
portage. However, adding --exclude scrnsaverproto --exclude chromium
to the command above helped a bit. So, now, I have the following:

# emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse --backtrack=100 --ask
world --exclude chromium

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

x11-base/xorg-proto-2018.4)

For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following
section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant):

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Working/Portage#Blocked_packages

# revdep-rebuild
 * This is the new python coded version
 * Please report any bugs found using it.
 * The original revdep-rebuild script is installed as revdep-rebuild.sh
 * Please file bugs at: https://bugs.gentoo.org/
 * Collecting system binaries and libraries
 * Checking dynamic linking consistency

Your system is consistent

# emerge --depclean --backtrack=120 --ask

 * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious
 * mistakes. Packages that are part of the world set will always
 * be kept.  They can be manually added to this set with
 * `emerge --noreplace <atom>`.  Packages that are listed in
 * package.provided (see portage(5)) will be removed by
 * depclean, even if they are part of the world set.
 *
 * As a safety measure, depclean will not remove any packages
 * unless *all* required dependencies have been resolved.  As a
 * consequence of this, it often becomes necessary to run
 * `emerge --update --newuse --deep @world` prior to depclean.

Calculating dependencies... done!
 * Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
 * the following required packages not being installed:
 *
 *   >=x11-proto/scrnsaverproto-1.2.2-r1[abi_x86_64(-)] pulled in by:
 *     x11-libs/libXScrnSaver-1.2.2-r1
 *
 * Have you forgotten to do a complete update prior to depclean? The
 * most comprehensive command for this purpose is as follows:
 *
 *   emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y @world
 *
 * Note that the --with-bdeps=y option is not required in many
 * situations. Refer to the emerge manual page (run `man emerge`)
 * for more information about --with-bdeps.
 *
 * Also, note that it may be necessary to manually uninstall
 * packages that no longer exist in the portage tree, since it may
 * not be possible to satisfy their dependencies.

I don't think that old chromium package is a culprit here but will try
to unmerge it as well.

Any more ideas?
