However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if that will solve this conflict automatically.

I believe this is related to bug 486580 and python-exec, possibly the very same issue. Installing dev-lang/python-exec:2 may help. Another possible solution is (temporarily) unmerging all python-exec and allowing emerge to pull in fresh versions.
Thanks. Will give a try with updated portage and python-exec
I updated to portage-9999 and dev-lang/python-exec-2.0.1. I removed dev-lang/python-exec-0.3.1. The issue seems resolved.
