Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run gentoo stable 2007.0 2.emerge --sync && emerge -uNDa world 3.Sit back and enjoy the show Actual Results: Portage can't continue because of 2 to-be-emerged packages which are blocking each other. Expected Results: Portage should have updated my pc. No I'm not kidding ;)
