I already have dev-lang/rust-1.86.0 installed, but it has recently been masked. This resulted in the curious behavior of portage that it wants to install all available slots, and I believe that would be the case for a system that lacks any version of dev-lang/rust.

This is the same thing as bug 947587 and bug 951296.
This one shows up when dev-lang/rust gets masked in ::gentoo (e.g. for bug 953103) because it's broken but older versions already got depcleaned.
(In reply to Sam James from comment #2) > This one shows up when dev-lang/rust gets masked in ::gentoo (e.g. for bug > 953103) because it's broken but older versions already got depcleaned. For me helps: # remove 1.86.0 version emerge --unmerge dev-lang/rust # instal 1.85.1 version emerge --oneshot dev-lang/rust
