Description James Cloos 2020-10-01 19:31:40 UTC

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=sys-libs/gdbm-1.8.3:0/0=".
(dependency required by "dev-lang/perl-5.30.3-r1::gentoo" [installed])
...

but nothing newer than sys-libs/gdbm-1.18.1-r1 exists in portage.

1.18.1 is indeed more than 1.8.3. I suspect this is actually a slot rebuild issue or something like that.

Can you come onto the IRC for support, and provide teh full output?
