9 When looking at the packages to be merged, I guess you are running
10 unstable gentoo. Which version of portage do you use. 2.2_rc9?
11 Many things have changed with portage-2.2. So I recommend reading the
12 documentation of portage first.
13
14 I am not using portage 2.2, but with stable portage the following
15 almost everytime helps to get a sane state:
16
17 emerge -uND --with-bdeps=y world
18 revdep-rebuild -i
19 emerge -p --depclean
20
21 Before you let depclean remove anything make sure you really don't
22 need it and you have run python-updater (there is something like this
23 for perl too which I don't recall at the moment).
24
25 Also make sure you have a clean world file, which means if there is an
26 entry which is already needed by something else it should normally be
27 removed as this could cause problems.
