Comment 1 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2016-05-31 05:12:11 UTC 
Created attachment 435896 [details]
copy of user configuration that reproduces the issue

I was able to reproduce the problem using the attached configuration together with the gentoo repository at commit 88c1f9f779abf72b6091cd5f772dfcb29151e639 (from 2016-05-19, approximately when the user reported the issue).
Comment 2 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2016-05-31 05:24:52 UTC 
The debug log shows a bunch of failed slot_operator_update_probe calls like this:

slot_operator_update_probe:
   existing child package:  (sys-devel/llvm-3.7.1-r2:0/3.7.1::gentoo, installed)
   existing parent package: (media-libs/mesa-11.2.2:0/0::gentoo, installed)
   new child package:  None
   new parent package: None

It seems pretty obvious that it has to fail in check_reverse_dependencies, since updating to llvm-3.8.0-r2 would break this dependency from the installed clang-3.7.1-r100 instance:

~sys-devel/llvm-3.7.1[clang(-),-debug,static-analyzer,abi_x86_64(-)]
Comment 3 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2016-05-31 05:43:28 UTC 
Maybe we can handle this by ignoring a broken reverse dependency when the corresponding parent package has an available update which would be compatible with the selected replacement package.
Comment 4 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-05-31 13:52:21 UTC 
sounds reasonable to me
Comment 5 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2016-06-22 07:36:36 UTC 
I have a test case which reproduces this issue in the following branch:
