Sorry to say, but I don't know the difference.
Both have nearly identical hardware (AMD Phenom II, same chipset)
Both are updated each day (~amd64) and both have nearly the same set
of packages installed.

This raises the question on how to compare two different Gentoo 
installations?

Many thanks Arttu,
I'm glad you see the problem, as well.

I have many, many packages of dev-python/ installed.
Up to now media-gfx/exact-image is the only one which
causes trouble.

So, I'm lost right now.
(though exact-image is not an essential package for me at the moment)

Helmut.
