Ah, well... # cat /var/db/pkg/sys-devel/binutils-2*/USE elibc_glibc kernel_linux nls userland_GNU x86 elibc_glibc kernel_linux multislot nls userland_GNU x86 that kinda explains it, but - it tries to re-emerge the wrong slot :) [ebuild R ] sys-devel/binutils-2.20.1 USE="multislot* -multitarget nls -test -vanilla" 0 kB [ebuild R ] sys-devel/binutils-2.20.51.0.6 USE="multislot -multitarget nls -test -vanilla" 0 kB (emerge -e @world appears to have ignored the binutils:0 slot causing all this confusion in the first place).
What about the contents of /var/db/pkg/sys-devel/binutils-2*/USE? Something in there is probably triggering --newuse. Also, add -v to your emerge -p options so we can see exactly what USE will be enabled in the new build.

Also, add -v to your emerge -p options > so we can see exactly what USE will be enabled in the new build. That's posted above in Comment #3. Basically, it's IUSE=multislot fault here as usual *g* - the below makes it much more clear: # emerge -pv =sys-devel/binutils-{2.20.1,2.20.51.0.6} These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: sys-devel/binutils:0 ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-devel/binutils-2.20.1', 'merge') pulled in by =sys-devel/binutils-2.20.1 ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-devel/binutils-2.20.51.0.6', 'merge') pulled in by =sys-devel/binutils-2.20.51.0.6 Guess this one's a CANTFIX really.

Unfortunately there's nothing we can do to fix this now because there's no way to select SLOT with multislot ebuilds. However, maybe we could add an EAPI extension that would allow us to select the SLOT.
Well, digging more into this, I'd say there's still some sort of portage bug b/c the below makes no sense me, even despite the multislot hack implied troubles. # cat /var/db/pkg/sys-devel/binutils-2*/{IUSE,USE,SLOT} nls multitarget multislot test vanilla nls multitarget multislot test vanilla elibc_glibc kernel_linux multislot nls userland_GNU x86 elibc_glibc kernel_linux multislot nls userland_GNU x86 i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.20.1 i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.20.51.0.6 # emerge -NuDpv world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] sys-devel/binutils-2.20.51.0.6 USE="multislot -multitarget nls -test -vanilla" 0 kB Now, it makes no different whether the lower or higher version or both are in world or not, I always get the above. With identical USE and IUSE, where's it pulling the "changed" flags from?
Created attachment 225231 [details] emerge --ignore-default-opts --debug --backtrack=0 -upv world &> log Well, it's even more weird... it's not even --newuse now. I don't know what's it trying to do, honestly. Don't recall anything similar w/ 2.1
Ah...

it's called "implement Bug 174407 finally". constantly poking teams (like toolchain) isnt going to make this happen, nor are the ebuilds/eclasses going to change. like ive always said, USE=multislot fills a very real gap and it isnt going away.
To make this clear - this bug wasn't filed to get rid of USE=multislot (which indeed is useful), not to piss anyone off. ;) Resolving as duplicate and thanks. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 174407 ***
I didn't know that the "Use-dynamic SLOTS" thing would fit the USE=multislot case, since SLOT values like "i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.20.1" would require CHOST expansion, which would seem beyond the scope of simple "Use-dynamic SLOTS". Shrug, we'll figure it all out eventually.
