Ebuild contains the following line: PYTHON_COMPAT=( python3_{4,5} ) On my python 3_6 only system this is the only package requiring me to reinstall an older version of python. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge -pv vulkan-loader Actual Results: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! dev-lang/python-3.5.4 media-libs/vulkan-loader-1.0.61.1 Expected Results: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! media-libs/vulkan-loader-1.0.61.1 Changing the ebuild in my local overlay to: PYTHON_COMPAT=( python3_{4,5,6} ) apparently just works. I see someone else has suggested this elsewhere: https://github.com/sjnewbury/gentoo-gpu/pull/12/commits/bb261455b6277e0a1830d831167b2cffd6b90d8f
