34 =virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Command-1.180.0-r1 is the culprit.
35 (And the autounmask recommendation by portage is weird. Which portage version
36 is that?)
37
38 If you look at the emerge output, you see that you have ~arch virtual/perl-
39 ExtUtils-Command. (Not masked, only ~arch)
40
41 That specific version, virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Command-1.180.0-r1, can be
42 fulfilled by either dev-lang/perl-5.20* (masked) or perl-core/ExtUtils-
43 Command-1.180.0 (~arch).
44
45 You have three alternative options:
46 1) downgrade virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Command to stable (recommended)
47 2) keyword perl-core/ExtUtils-Command ~arch (should be fine too)
48 3) unmask =dev-lang/perl-5.20* (NOT RECOMMENDED)
49
50 Good luck,
51 Andreas
