media-libs/jpeg-8c-r1 was the last stable version of media-libs/jpeg (for x86 at least), and it suddenly disappeared from portage. Example: emerge -1v jpeg Actual result: [ebuild NS ] media-libs/jpeg-6b-r9 [8c-r1] 603 kB (portage tries to downgrade the package) Expected result: Install a version greater or equal than 8c-r1.
In purpose. There will be a news item shortly. Run this: # emerge --deselect media-libs/jpeg # emerge --oneshot media-libs/libjpeg-turbo

You must not simply delete stable packages in this way. For starters, the news entry contains an obvious lie by stating that the jpeg:0 package is still in the tree, when for stable users it is not. Secondly, if any stable users have any problems after switching, there is no way back because now they're stuck with a broken package and there is no way to reinstall the old, working package. Furthermore, Gentoo's own policies say not to remove the latest stable version of a package, yet it was done so in this case. Finally, there was absolutely no reason to remove 8c from the tree, unless your intention was to deliberately harm stable users. Keeping it would not prevent anyone from migrating as per the news entry.

I tried to follow the hints of the news "The default JPEG implementation" # emerge --deselect media-libs/jpeg # emerge --oneshot media-libs/libjpeg-turbo I still had to an 'emerge -C media-libs/jpeg', but now 'emerge -uvDN world' fails with: root@lynx:/usr/local/portage/dev-libs(21)# emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y @world Calculating dependencies... done!

However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if that will solve this conflict automatically.
Still some additional information. I removed media-libs/jpeg-8d yesterday, today it was reemerged during 'emerge -uvDN world' (I suppose as dependency of virtual/jpeg-0). Now I have the following packages with jpeg in the name: root@lynx:/usr/local/portage/dev-libs(25)# qlist -Iv jpeg media-gfx/recoverjpeg-2.0-r1 media-libs/jpeg-8d media-libs/openjpeg-1.5.0 media-plugins/gst-plugins-jpeg-0.10.30 media-video/mjpegtools-2.0.0-r2 virtual/jpeg-0 If I try to repeat the procedure I did yesterday, I get: root@lynx:/usr/local/portage/dev-libs(27)# emerge --deselect media-libs/jpeg >>> No matching atoms found in "world" favorites file... root@lynx:/usr/local/portage/dev-libs(28)# emerge --oneshot media-libs/libjpeg-turbo Calculating dependencies... done!
