I thought you were on to something but the version is different, which
seems to make emerge behave different.  I added -t this time.  Maybe
that will help.


root@fireball / # emerge -uvaDN world -t

root@fireball / #

It seems lxde is pulling in something that is triggering a blocker. 
Part of me thinks that doing a emerge -C util-linux and then doing the
upgrade will make it fix itself.  Thing is, looking at some of the
commands that that package provides, unmerging that may not be a good
idea.  What is also puzzling, it wants to downgrade util-linux, not
upgrade.  It seems it wants to go back to using the eject package which
is currently not needed since util-linux provides the eject command.  . 

I seem to be going in circles here.  I may have to keyword something to
get past this blocker.  Sort of make it not want to downgrade util-linux. 

Open to ideas.  I'll post if I luck up on a solution.
