I've verified that it is not a problem with -U, -v, or world because the problem shows itself with simply 'emerge -k libsdl'. Additionally, pressing ctr-c to stop the unmerge (and I assume simply disabling the autoclean) isn't that great of a workaround because doing 'emerge clean' after the update will still cause the newer package to be deleted: >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... * Caching service dependencies...

Are you sure it only happens with -k (so `emerge libsdl` is working correct) ?
I apologize. You are right. It is happening with just 'emerge gentoolkit'. I assumed that since it worked on the other system with similar specs, it was working here... my apologies for that... And it's not just with 'autoclean'. It's happening with 'emerge clean' after / $ emerge gentoolkit Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-portage/gentoolkit-0.1.34 to / ... >>> app-portage/gentoolkit-0.1.34 merged. app-portage/gentoolkit selected: 0.1.34 protected: 0.1.33 omitted: none >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. --- Now this is odd... I figured I'd just unmerge the packages manually, but the new version of gentoolkit is shown in the 'emerge clean' but not the 'emerge unmerge ...' $ emerge clean media-libs/libsdl selected: 1.2.6-r2 protected: 1.2.6-r1 omitted: none app-portage/gentoolkit selected: 0.1.34 protected: 0.1.33 omitted: none ... / $ emerge unmerge \=app-portage/gentoolkit-0.1.33 \=media-libs/libsdl-1.2.6-r1 app-portage/gentoolkit selected: 0.1.33 protected: none omitted: none media-libs/libsdl selected: 1.2.6-r1 protected: none omitted: 1.2.6-r2
/usr/lib/portage/bin/fix-db.py seems to have done the trick. Thanks.
