I am using paludis/cave, but most probably an issue with emerge, too: I cannot uninstall gcc-4.3.5 since requested by glibc ebuilds (2.11.x, 2.12.x). However, I see no reason why, and in fact, glibc is not even compiled with gcc-4.3.5 but with gcc-4.4.5 (according to output of /lib/libc-2.12.2.so). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: cave uninstall =sys-devel/gcc-4.3.5
Please post your `emerge --info' output or equivalent.

(In reply to comment #0) > I am using paludis/cave, but most probably an issue with emerge, too: Oh btw, no. Nobody has this with sys-apps/portage. But I will pass on the bug and, when it is established that maybe the PM is at fault, probably marked INVALID (because this bug tracker shouldn't be used for paludis bugs, except where its packaging in the portage tree is concerned).
i dont see any bugs in the glibc ebuilds. bounce to whoever maintains that pm to figure out what's going on.
It's not a bug but it could use a feature of more specific dependency list in VDB. My VDB tells me that glibc has this line in /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/glibc-2.13-r2/DEPEND: >=sys-devel/gcc-3.4.4 arm? ( >=sys-devel/binutils-2.16.90 >=sys-devel/gcc-4.1.0 ) x86? ( >=sys-devel/gcc-4.3 ) amd64? ( >=sys-devel/binutils-2.19 >=sys-devel/gcc-4.3 ) ppc? ( >=sys-devel/gcc-4.1.0 ) ppc64? ( >=sys-devel/gcc-4.1.0 ) >=sys-devel/binutils-2.15.94 >=sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.9 >=sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.12 >=app-misc/pax-utils-0.1.10 virtual/os-headers nls? ( sys-devel/gettext ) >=sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.18.1-r2 !<sys-apps/portage-2.1.2 selinux? ( sys-libs/libselinux ) !vanilla? ( >=sys-libs/timezone-data-2007c ) sys-devel/gnuconfig I guess your /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/glibc-2.12.2 is similar or has smaller minimum version of gcc. Since both sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5 and sys-devel/gcc-4.3.5 matches >=sys-devel/gcc-3.4.4 paludis blocks both. You can probably use: cave uninstall =sys-devel/gcc-4.3.5 --uninstalls-may-break =sys-libs/glibc-2.12.2 These kinds of issues are easily spotted by people familiar with paludis/cave and I think they should be asked about in the mailinglist for paludis. If it's a real bug, than it will be figured out in the mailinglist where to report it. If my help is not enough, than I think you should ask there. You should also include the output of cave uninstall =sys-devel/gcc-4.3.5, because it will tell if you also have other packages depending on =sys-devel/gcc-3.4.5. I am not involved in paludis development, and others are usually faster than me to reply to such questions on paludis-mailinglist.
It's a paludis thing.
