This seems to be sort of an instance of bug 1343. As a workaround, you can mask those packages to prevent them from being selected: echo "dev-python/pycrypto dev-python/pysqlite" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
I don't yet understand why it's making the wrong decision in these cases: || ( >=dev-lang/python-2.5 >=dev-python/pysqlite-2 ) || ( >=dev-lang/python-2.5 >=dev-python/pycrypto-2.0.1-r6 ) Perhaps the installed version of python is masked somehow? cat /var/db/pkg/dev-lang/python-2.5*/KEYWORDS

Does `emerge -p \>=dev-lang/python-2.5` pull in the python-2.5 package as expected? Have you keyworded that package in /etc/portage/package.keywords? If not, does keywording it help?

You seem to have triggered the same type of case described in bug #219369, Comment #16. If emerge shows a warning about python-2.5 being masked then that should help you know how to correct the problem.
(In reply to comment #11) During normal operation, there were no warning. When it really happened to warn me about masked package, I was able to handle the case afaik.
It's fixed 2.1.5.3 so that the update command will warn you about python-2.5 being masked.
(In reply to comment #13) Ok. Thanks.
Created attachment 155771 [details] maybe just my fault, but got the same result now, after an emerge --sync
Created attachment 155773 [details] depclean as second step
Created attachment 155775 [details] usual emerge --info and such
(In reply to comment #17) > Created an attachment (id=155775) [edit] > usual emerge --info and such > Your --info shows version 2.1.4.4, but you need at least 2.1.5.3 to get the new warning message.
okay, when using sys-apps/portage-2.1.5.4 depclean unmerges dev-python/pycrypto and dev-python/pysqlite, but world emerge does not emerge any of them, so it seems to be consistent. Thanks for supporting my bug.
