Created attachment 507046 [details] emerge --debug output qmail-scanner depends on both: - virtual/qmail - mail-filter/maildrop virtual/qmail depends on: || ( ~mail-mta/netqmail-1.06 ~mail-mta/mini-qmail-1.05 ~mail-mta/mini-qmail-1.06 ~mail-mta/qmail-ldap-${PV} ) mail-filter/maildrop depends on: tools? ( !mail-mta/netqmail !net-mail/courier-imap !mail-mta/mini-qmail )" ( And has IUSE="+tools" ) And portage currently does not find a resolution to this. qmail-ldap *could* be a solution, but it and maildrop currently collide ( bug #639124 ), and portage doesn't consider this as an option, only looking as far as netqmail and then bailing. Portage team CC'd because this should be something portage can solve on its own, but there are probably ways feasible of fixing this that don't require portage upgrades. emerge -t1 --quiet-build=y --quiet-repo-display --nospinner --autounmask=y --autounmask-keep-masks=y --autounmask-unrestricted-atoms=n --autounmask-unrestricted-atoms=n --autounmask-continue --unordered-display --verbose --backtrack=100 --quiet-build=n --jobs=1 =mail-filter/qmail-scanner-2.06 These are the packages that would be merged: Calculating dependencies ... done!
