24 dependencies are tricky and can usually never be visualized is a straight
25 line. This outcome is one of several possibilities.
26
27 As for the blocking, eselect-1.0.3 has been removed from portage about 2
28 months ago. And eselect-opengl has been bumped to version 1.0.4 to resolve
29 the blocking 2 months ago.

31 I suggest you sync your tree again and emerge the newest releases.
32 After syncing you should be able to upgrade to eselect-1.0.6 and
33 eselect-opengl-1.0.4
34
35 If you get another eselect blocker after syncing you can unmerge it and
36 run "emerge - auDv world" again.
