Bugzilla Bug 69838

emerge -Dup world just gives an error message. Simple emerges, however, result
without any problems.

emerge sync/rsync also doesn't help

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -Dup world
Actual Results:  
# emerge -Dup world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies |
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=sys-devel/gcc-4.3".


!!! Problem with ebuild sys-apps/man-pages-1.67
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

Expected Results:  
well, upgrade my installed applications
