Manually installing an older copy of Email-MIME does not resolve this problem: emerge -uvatDN Email-MIME-Modifier These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

On stable boxes this is currently no problem as Email-MIME-1.902 isn't visible. On testing boxes the dependencies must be fixed. Deps like || ( >=dev-perl/Email-MIME-1.900 dev-perl/Email-MIME-Modifier ) || ( >=dev-perl/Email-MIME-1.900 dev-perl/Email-MIME-Creator ) should solve the problem.
Thanks Kent. All dev-perl/Email-MIME-Modifier and dev-perl/Email-MIME-Creator deps were replace with the any-of deps. This should be fixed now.
