15 You have omitted some important information before this, but the problem
16 you have is that something is trying to pull in libgudev, which is
17 provided by systemd and well, hence the blocker. Packages should depend on
18 virtual/libgudev, which avoids this type of conflict. Run the update
19 again --tree to see just what is trying to install libgudev.

25 In this situation, with so many packages being updated, I try to reduce
26 the noise from portage by emerge --oneshot-ing anything in the list that
27 is not related to the blockers, it makes the tree output much easier to
28 work with.
