I did not "snip" any relevant information. I try to run:

emerge --update -q --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y --tree  @system

and there are no blockers showing up but a slot conflict.

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

sys-apps/util-linux:0

  (sys-apps/util-linux-2.28.2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2-r2:0/5=[unicode]" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r5::gentoo (masked by: )

(dependency required by "sys-apps/util-linux-2.26.2::gentoo" [installed])
(dependency required by "@__auto_slot_operator_replace_installed__" [argument])


I can not unmerge sys-apps/util-linux as I might damage the system.
I've unmerge sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1 but it still giving me that error.
