You simply need to update all of your vala slots at the same time, e.g. the 0.14 slot needs to be updated to version 0.14.2-r2 at the same time as the 0.18 slot is updated to version 0.18.1 You can use the following command: # emerge -1auv $(equery list dev-lang/vala --format '$cp:$slot') (If you don't have equery, you will need to install app-portage/gentoolkit first)
Also, if you haven't done "emerge sync" recently, do so now: vala-0.14.2-r2 was marked stable last month, so portage should not be attempting to pull in 0.14.2-r1 unless you have a rather outdated package tree.
