As also reported in bug 443612 for a related problem: Running emerge -uDa world I get: !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: net-misc/curl:0 (net-misc/curl-7.26.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by <net-misc/curl-7.27.0 required by (dev-cpp/libcmis-0.1.0-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (net-misc/curl-7.28.0-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot) Portage 2.2.0_alpha142 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.5.3, glibc-2.15-r2, 3.6.0-gentoo i686) The error message seems to be saying there's no requirement to have the later version so I think Portage should just give me 7.26. curl is not tracked by the world file either: pena portage # grep curl /var/lib/portage/world pena portage #
If I am quite specific to Portage I get it to do what I want: pena portage # emerge -pv =libcmis-0.1.0-r1 curl These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

This must be highly dependent on the --backtrack setting. If you're not using --quiet and your --backtracking setting is between 1 and 30 (default is 10), then it should give you a message like this: 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.
<net-misc/curl-7.27.0 is off the tree. Reopen if this is still happening with newer versions.
