Upgrade your ridiculously outdated baselayout. (In reply to comment #1) > Upgrade your ridiculously outdated baselayout. That's exactly my point! Upgrading my ridiculously outdated baselayout its of course the right thing to do, but I expect portage to tell me about it, not having to find it out myself: that's what dependancies are for! In such situation I expect portage to tell me one of the following: 1) Your profile is deprecated 2) [blocks B] <sys-apps/baselayout-x.y.z (is blocking net-misc/openssh-x.y.z) 3) Say nothing and upgrade baselayout to the minimum required version together with the new openssh version. I manage several servers spread across several firms: I don't usually do system upgrades on production servers unless there is some GLSA or the customer requests some new functionality, and I think this is a quite common sys admin behaviour. For this reason I expect portage to manage package dependancies, even if I have some very old packages on my system.

Portage will manage your dependencies just fine when using 'emerge -uD world' and will upgrade your non-existant baselayout version just fine as well. Every init script has an implicit dependency on baselayout that *at least* exists in the tree, not one that has been removed half year ago. baselayout-1.11.x has been marked stable 8 months ago, plenty time to upgrade; and current stable udev depends on it anyway.
