26 That's the odd part. The warning is just that, it is portage telling you
27 why it is not upgrading imagemagick to the latest version. I can't see
28 anything in the output you have posted that explains portage's desire to
29 continually reinstall the same version of imagemagick.

31 I think it was suggested earlier, but have you tried setting the
32 graphicsmagick flag for inkscape?
