46 Notice this line.

48 =dev-util/boost-build-1.58* required by (dev-libs/boost-1.58.0-r1:0/1.58.0::gentoo, installed)
49 ^ ^^^^^

51 Note the ^ and the ^^^^^ part. That seems to be the important part.
52 Me, I would check package.* files and see if there is a entry for boost
53 in there. It seems to be pointing out that there is a problem with that
54 specific version and a = sign somewhere. It could be a keyword that
55 only applies to that version and it needs a newer version keyworded or
56 there could be a entry in package.use that has a version attached to
57 it. I might add, I try not to put versions on packages in package.use.
58 It just seems to lead to trouble. May want to check package.mask too if
59 you find nothing in the other files.

61 Also a -t might help too. Maybe.
62
63 If that doesn't help, Alan M. will come along with his crystal ball
64 soon, I hope.
