After an emerge rsync (just issued right now), an 'emerge -up --deep world' shows me a package (ssmtp) blocking the update. I unmerge this package. Afterwards, 'emerge -up --deep world' shows me exactly the same updates as before, and shows me that it will re-emerge ssmtp. Running this everything gets emerged. I think that either ssmtp shouldn't be re-emerged or that it shoudln't have been blocking anything in the first place. Here's the output: ---- 8< ---- #> emerge -up --deep world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

You need to modify the file as follows: From virtual/mta net-mail/ssmtp net-mail/postfix To virtual/mta net-mail/postfix #31148 may cause this bug. Carpaski: I think we should make fix-virtuals in next portage.
Nakano has fixed the virtuals issues. This is also related to bug #36344 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 36334 ***
