Because i works with a non supported arquitecture (ppc) i usually upgrade my Gentoo. So, at last upgrade there are problems. Boost depends on boost-build but it's blocked by boost. And same for wxGTK, which depends on eselect-wxwidgets but it's blocked by wxGTK. Why does a packet block its dependences?? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge --sync 2.emerge -pv world Actual Results: localhost ~ # emerge -pv world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies... done!
