 * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
 * installed at the same time on the same system.

  (sys-apps/man-db-2.8.7:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    sys-apps/man-db

  (sys-apps/man-1.6g-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
    sys-apps/man required by @selected 

virtual/man cna't be removed because many packages depend on it:
  virtual/man-0-r1 pulled in by:
    @system requires virtual/man
    app-i18n/man-pages-de-1.15 requires =virtual/man-0-r1, virtual/man
    games-misc/asr-manpages-1.3_rc6 requires virtual/man, =virtual/man-0-r1
    sys-apps/man-pages-5.04 requires virtual/man
    sys-apps/man-pages-posix-2013a requires virtual/man, =virtual/man-0-r1

required by @selected
means it is in @world

I think
emerge -av --deselect sys-apps/man
should help.
Comment 2 Michel Le Bihan 2020-03-07 09:23:21 UTC 
It did help, but sys-apps/man is still listed in depend:
