A: Because netkit-telnetd depends on virtual/inetd. I have no idea why I didn't already have an inetd in there, though. It also raises the question why I even have netkit-telnetd installed. So, sorry, the xinetd question isn't relevant to this bug, which I still haven't managed to solve.
Just saw the same thing when upgrading from mod_php-4.3.3-r2 to 4.3.3-r3. Running portage-2.0.49-r15.

Have a look on bug #32177, it explains the why: the SLOT recorded in the portage cache can't always be the right one, when it is dynamic, like the mod_php's one. The only fix I can think about would be to ignore the cached value for such ebuilds. I'm working on a patch that would add a "cache" RESTRICT flag for this purpose, but I can't promise any result (the aux_get function is really tricky imho...)
I confirm aux_get is tricky, but what I had to do there was really easy in fact. This bug will be fixed when: - patch from bug #32367 is accepted - RESTRICT="nocache" is added to mod_php ebuilds Note that mod_scgi and mod_pcgi2 have the same issue, and should also use this restrict flag.
