Bug #330735 told that freenet wasn't compatible with ant-core-1.8 Why was the restriction removed? Anyways I face this problem right now, if I don't mask ant-core and ant-nodeps >=1.8 # emerge -avt freenet These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

It was not removed, as you can see in your own output: > (dev-java/ant-core-1.7.1-r5, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by > =dev-java/ant-core-1.7 required by (net-p2p/freenet-0.7.5_p1275, ebuild > scheduled for merge) > freenet still requires ant-core-1.7, but portage itself has problems with the dependency resolving, it pulls in the latest version for unspecified dependencies, which then collides with the requrested version for freenet.
Suggested temporal workaround is either to mask the higher version (ant-core-1.8) or to try some newer portage version. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1343 ***
There's a fix in git to make portage handle this better: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=4bc78ab0b563697b98527eebcdfe474863383cf0
This is fixed in 2.1.9.10 and 2.2_rc86.

The master branch has a fix here: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=c6ed07840d2791ef5ce921322402856c72c6dcc8 And the 2.1.9 branch has a smaller fix here: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=fc33f34e3d060b57e03204fb427b01971f8dafff
