You can use --backtrack=0 to reveal the issue.
Also, --update implies that it's acceptable to skip packages given as arguments, and --selective=n can be combined with --update in order to indicate that it is not acceptable.
Please don't truncate output when reporting a bug.
Likely a dupe of bug 934385.
I agree that https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=934385 is a duplicate. I truncated the depgraph as I didn't think it was relevant, I was mainly indicating that equery depgraph was useful.
Created attachment 896428 [details] emerge -DavuN --backtrack=0 firefox I think this confirms this is a duplicate.
