Hhm, at a chrooted unstable Gentoo Linux image I get this situation : These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies . ..... done!

I believe this was caused by misordering of the preference in the virtual: + 19 Mar 2012; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> modutils-0.ebuild: + Move sys-apps/kmod before sys-apps/module-init-tools in the RDEPEND wrt + #408911
