43 It is reflected in the dependencies by the fact that the first dep
44 (and generally the one chosen by portage) requires a new-enough
45 version of util-linux *with the "tty-helpers" USE flag enabled*. You
46 don't need multiple versions of anything installed. If you just add
47 "sys-apps/util-linux tty-helpers" to your /etc/portage/package.use
48 file and try again, you will likely find that portage will update
49 everything for you without any further issues.
