=dev-libs/elfutils-0.164 can't be emerged because the latest of prelink requires dev-libs/elfutils-0.158. https://people.redhat.com/jakub/prelink/ As I can see there isn't a newer version of prelink. Could the current version work with the latest elfutils? ------------- Calculating dependencies... done!

Greater than or equal to includes 0.164. In this case, you just have a conflict that is resolved if you have upgrade elfutils. You'd probably resolve this with an: emerge -1 \=sys-devel/prelink-20130503 \=dev-libs/elfutils-0.164 I am running sys-devel/prelink-20130503 and dev-libs/elfutils-0.163, so I can tell you that I highly suspect this is just a merge conflict. If that doesn't work, I'd recommend seeking assistance in IRC, the forums, or the mailing lists as this would not the appropriate place for troubleshooting that.
