After updating portage from 2.0.50-r11 to 2.0.51 this morning I tried `emerge -Dup system` and got a blocking error: [blocks B ] sys-apps/modutils (from pkg sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.0-r2) [blocks B ] sys-apps/module-init-tools (from pkg sys-apps/modutils-2.4.25) Both packages were installed according to qpkg and etcat. So I unmerged modutils which removed the block with `emerge -Dup system`. Out of curiosity I reinstalled module-init-tools on one machine which then utilized modutils-2.4.27, which as a standalone package is marked unstable. bye caspar Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sync 2. emerge -v portage 3. emerge -Dup system Actual Results: Blocking notice as described above. Expected Results: Don't know what was intended.
This is correct behaviour. portage-2.0.50 missed some blocks that portage-2.0.51 doesn't.
