I have a server that is using the default profile of default/linux/amd64/13.0. The ABI_X86 is set to: ABI_X86="64 32" Last night, when trying to do updates, I received this error message from libltdl: # emerge -quDNpt @world ... [blocks B ] app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs[-abi_x86_32(-)] ("app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs[-abi_x86_32(-)]" is blocking dev-libs/libltdl-2.4.4) * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be * installed at the same time on the same system. (app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-20140508-r12:0/0::gentoo, installed) pulled in by app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs required by @selected (dev-libs/libltdl-2.4.4:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by dev-libs/libltdl:0 required by (sys-devel/libtool-2.4.4:2/2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) It seems, to me, that dev-libs/libltdl should not be attempting to build a 32-bit library on the default profile, as none of the other packages seem to do that (such as sys-libs/ncurses). I imagine that if I did not have 32 in the ABI_X86 variable this would not be an issue, but I've never had any other issues like this before. I have unmerged app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs to satisfy dev-libs/libltdl, and switched my profile to default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-emul-linux-x86 as this allows me to move forward with my updates without the block. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set profile to default/linux/amd64/13.0 2. Emerge app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs 3. Update from sys-devel/libtool-2.4.2-r1 to sys-devel/libtool-2.4.4, which brings with it dev-libs/libltdl-2.4.4 Actual Results: Blocked by package app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs. Expected Results: dev-libs/libltdl-2.4.4 should not be creating a 32-bit library on the default profile due to the presence of 32-bit libraries provided by app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs.

ify you have app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs installed and you wish to upgrade your system all updates are blocked. The most package upgrades are blocked. I think we can change the Importance to "blocker".

Had this error with similar configuration. Fixed by adding -abi_x86_32 to /etc/portage/profile/use.mask, triggering ~200 package rebuild and the loss of the emul-linux dependency.
The emul-linux-x86 packages have been removed.
