I did exactly the same upgrade on 2 machines, along with an entire plasma |
| 18 |
upgrade, and didn't encounter this issue. |

For comparison, this is what I generally use: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
# emerge -vauDN --with-bdeps=y @world |
| 23 |
# emerge -va --depclean |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Do you only upgrade subsets? Or the full world? |
| 26 |
I found that with libraries like qt, python and similar, only upgrading those |
| 27 |
makes it impossible for portage to properly handle the blockers. |
