(In reply to Juergen Rose from comment #0) > [ebuild U ] virtual/mysql-5.6-r11:0/18::gentoo [5.6-r10:0/18::gentoo] USE="embedded server -static" 0 KiB The reason for this is the embedded USE flag is enabled on virtual/mysql. MariaDB 10.3 removes this flag as it is obsolete. It will slowly disappear from other packages and versions as well. I will apply a USE mask on >= -r11 to help those in transition.

After removing all embedded USE flags from /etc/portage/package.use the issue disappered.
The mask of the USE flag "embedded" is given problems now because the current stable dev-db/mariadb-10.1.31-r1 has the embedded flag set and requires virtual/mysql with this flag also enabled. Thus a conflict appears: !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: virtual/mysql:0 (virtual/mysql-5.6-r12:0/18::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by virtual/mysql[server] required by (media-gfx/digikam-5.9.0:5/5::gentoo, installed) ^^^^^^ =virtual/mysql-5.6-r12[server] required by (media-gfx/digikam-5.9.0:5/5::gentoo, installed) ^ ^^^^^^^ (virtual/mysql-5.6-r6:0/18::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by ~virtual/mysql-5.6[embedded=,static=] required by (dev-db/mariadb-10.1.31-r1:0/18::gentoo, installed) ^^^^^^^^^
