This is the error on paludis. Portage shows much the same complaining about slot conflicts. Seems packages that don't have rails20 ruby targets are all complaining about the rubygems-6:rail20 virtual virtual/rubygems Reasons: target (installed-packages::installed), dev-ruby/abstract-1.0.0-r1:0::installed, dev-ruby/actionmailer-3.2.13:3.2::installed, 90 more Unsuitable candidates: * virtual/rubygems-6:ruby20::gentoo Did not meet virtual/rubygems[ruby_targets_jruby], use existing if same, installing to / from dev-ruby/abstract-1.0.0-r1:0::installed (and 49 more) Flag 'ruby_targets_jruby' enabled Did not meet virtual/rubygems[ruby_targets_ruby18], use existing if same, installing to / from dev-ruby/abstract-1.0.0-r1:0::installed (and 86 more) Flag 'ruby_targets_ruby18' enabled Did not meet virtual/rubygems[ruby_targets_ruby19], use existing if same, installing to / from dev-ruby/abstract-1.0.0-r1:0::installed (and 86 more) Flag 'ruby_targets_ruby19' enabled
I haven't seen such errors with portage. Can you show me an example?
$ sudo emerge abstract -av These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

You seem to have erubis installed with jruby support, and now want to install a dependency without it.
