Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2015-05-21 14:48:14 UTC
Looking to reports like:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549978#c5
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=550002

Looks like the current output:
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled                                                                                                                                                                       
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

    ^                  ^^^^^^

  (media-libs/libvpx-1.4.0:0/2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    >=media-libs/libvpx-1.4.0:= required by (www-client/chromium-43.0.2357.65:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)

Should point to the USE flag causing the blockers to allow people to guess they should switch it, in this case, the offending USE is "system-libvpx"

Thanks a lot :)

The slot_conflict_handler checks for solutions to USE deps, but apparently it doesn't check for USE conditional solutions like this.
