Comment 1 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-27 08:51:51 UTC 
The problem occurs when using the -f flag with all packages that conflicts with other packags. Portage tries to determinate the name of the blocked ebuild. Adding

if mylist[x][0]=="blocks":
  continue

to line 1075 of /usr/bin/emerge fixes this problem.
