22 I couldn't see from your posted output if emerge can continue or not, or
23 if these were fatal blockers. Which one was it?

25 Either way, it comes down to the same thing: emerge can update
26 everything to absolutely latest (in your case because of nvidia drivers)
27 so emerge either offers a second-best scenario, or fails to find
28 anything that can work and bails.
