Apparently one cannot install eix, gnucash,kde4.3 simultaneously since each uses either xz-utils or lzma-utils ?
See also bug 284458
wrong. you can keep stable lzma-utils, libarchive and eix OR use unstable xz-utils, libarchive and eix. in short: emerge -C lzma-utils and profit.

I have also tried removing lzma-utils, emergeing xz-utils explicitly and then emerging coreutils. Still does not work - insists on emergeing lzma-utils which blocks.
