dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.10-r1 requires >dev-util/gtk-doc-1.10

If you have <=dev-util/gtk-doc-1.10 and you try to update to newer gtk-doc you get circular blocked packages

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge =dev-util/gtk-doc-1.10-r1

Actual Results:  
emerge gtk-doc
Calculating dependencies     ... done!
[ebuild     U ] dev-util/gtk-doc-1.10-r1 [1.8-r2]
[ebuild  N    ] dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.10-r1
[blocks B     ] <=dev-util/gtk-doc-1.10 (is blocking dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.10-r1)
[blocks B     ] dev-util/gtk-doc-am (is blocking dev-util/gtk-doc-1.8-r2)




This means that you cant update to newer dev-util/gtk-doc because the newversion requires gtk-doc-am and you cant emerge gtk-doc-am because it requires new version of gtk-doc

One solution would be to install gtk-doc without dependency check and after that to emerge gtk-doc-am

Please unmerge gtk-doc, then run `emerge =dev-util/gtk-doc-1.10-r1' again. If that fails, then reopen this bug.
