I try emerge -p system and get a mass of errors.
Thanks for your convience!



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

I saw this problem many times before.
It should be fixed in the current portage.
Could you try it? (You could install rescue portage. see )

I'm closing this bug. If there are any problems yet, please feel free to reopen.
