This is really cosmetic. Don't bother with it if there are more important things to do. I recently got this: !!! One or more updates have been skipped due to a dependency conflict: dev-python/PyQt4:0 ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/PyQt4-4.7', 'merge') conflicts with >=dev-python/PyQt4-4.5[dbus,sql,svg,webkit,X] required by ('installed', '/', 'kde-base/pykde4-4.3.5-r1', 'nomerge') Which was a bit confusing because of course PyQt4-4.7 satisfies >=PyQt4-4.5. Neither from that message, nor from the package list could I tell that PyQt4 would have been merged without the webkit useflag, which was the actual reason for the update being skipped. So I guess it would improve usability if there was some hint in the message, maybe like printing the pending update with its updated useflags, so instead of: ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/PyQt4-4.7', 'merge') conflicts with print: ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-python/PyQt4-4.7[dbus,sql,svg,-webkit,X]', 'merge') conflicts with ... Thanks for your time. Reproducible: Always
Now imagine something like this: WARNING: One or more updates/rebuilds have been skipped due to a dependency conflict: dev-libs/libpeas:0 (dev-libs/libpeas-1.22.0:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) conflicts with >=dev-libs/libpeas-1.2.0[gtk,python_targets_python3_5(-),python_targets_python3_6(-),python_targets_python3_7(-),-python_single_target_jython2_ 7(-),-python_single_target_pypy(-),-python_single_target_pypy3(-),-python_single_target_python2_7(-),python_single_target_python3_7(+)] required by (media-gfx/entangle-2.0-4:0/0::gentoo, installed) dev-libs/libpeas[gtk,python,python_targets_python3_5(-),python_targets_python3_6(-),python_targets_python3_7(-),-python_single_target_jython2_7 (-),-python_single_target_pypy(-),-python_single_target_pypy3(-),-python_single_target_python2_7(-),python_single_target_python3_7(+)] required by (net-news/liferea-1.12.7-1:0/0::gentoo, installed) The message is entirely useless without making it clear *which* flags are actually required.
