Today i saw really weird thing in emerge output: # emerge -j2 --keep-going -uNDvbka world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Hard to tell what's going on there without --debug output. Since there're slot operator rebuilds involved there's the chance that bug 486580 has something to do with it. Unless someone is able to reproduce this with the fix in bug 486580 there's not much we can do.
