Since the update was going to take a while, I took a nap.  The update
for everything else finished but when I try to include ruby and such, I
still get the same error I think.  Going to post again just in case
something is different.


root@fireball / # emerge -uvaDN world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy
">=dev-ruby/xmlrpc-0.3.0[ruby_targets_ruby25]".
(dependency required by "dev-lang/ruby-2.5.5::gentoo" [ebuild])
(dependency required by
"dev-ruby/test-unit-3.3.3::gentoo[ruby_targets_ruby25]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "dev-lang/ruby-2.4.6::gentoo" [installed])
(dependency required by
"dev-ruby/rake-12.3.1::gentoo[ruby_targets_ruby24]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "media-video/mkvtoolnix-35.0.0::gentoo" [installed])
(dependency required by "@selected" [set])
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])
root@fireball / #


I was hoping updating the other packages might change something or help
emerge figure out a new path but it doesn't appear to have helped.  Once
again, I removed everything I thought ruby related from /etc/portage. 
Emerge wanted some added back but I still end up back with that error. 

Any idea?  If not, I may sync again in a few hours.
