I'm wondering whether in the following output the "B" shouldn't be lwoer case, or ? n22 ~ # nice -n -3 emerge --update @world --newuse --changed-use --with-bdeps=y --ask --autounmask=y These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies .... ..... done! [ebuild U ~] sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.42 [3.4.24_p2] USE="crypt%* -cryptsetup%" [ebuild U ~] sys-apps/openrc-0.10.5 [0.9.8.4] [nomerge ] kde-base/kdebase-meta-4.9.1 [nomerge ] kde-base/kinfocenter-4.9.1 [ebuild N ] sys-apps/usbutils-004 USE="zlib -network-cron -python" [ebuild N ] sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r1 USE="zlib -compress-db -network-cron -static-libs" [ebuild U ~] sys-libs/zlib-1.2.7 [1.2.5.1-r2] [blocks B ] <sys-apps/openrc-0.9.9 ("<sys-apps/openrc-0.9.9" is blocking sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.42)
According to man emerge: B blocked by another package (unresolved conflict) b blocked by another package (automatically resolved conflict) So, this is not a bug at all
