9 Hi Zoltan,
10
11 if you run into issues like this, first try something like
12
13 emerge -uDNav world
14
15 (--update --deep --newuse --ask --verbose; note the "deep")
16 (afaik this is the recommended way to update your system anyway)
17
18 If this doesnt help, you can try giving portage more time to backtrack, add
19 e.g. the following option (warning this may take a while):
20
21 --backtrack=1000
22
23 Cheers, Andreas
