You appear to already have this set: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" so why do you additionally use package.accept_keywords ?

I had set those in an attempt to prod portage to figure out the dependencies. If I remove them, the emerge still fails, just fails on a different dependency: Total: 111 packages (5 upgrades, 1 downgrade, 1 new, 104 reinstalls, 2 binaries), Size of downloads: 200 kB !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: dev-lang/perl:0 (dev-lang/perl-5.18.2:0/5.18::gentoo, installed) pulled in by =dev-lang/perl-5.18* required by (virtual/perl-libnet-1.230.0:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^ ^^^^^ (and 2 more with the same problem) (dev-lang/perl-5.16.3:0/5.16::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by =dev-lang/perl-5.16* required by (virtual/perl-digest-base-1.170.0-r2:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^ ^^^^^ (and 5 more with the same problem) It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy 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.

perl-cleaner --reallyall -- -t --backtrack=30 worked around it for me
backtrack=30 solved my problem too.
(In reply to Markus Knetschke from comment #8) > backtrack=30 solved my problem too. +1 "perl-cleaner --all -- --backtrack=30" works Please consider making it default.
This is fixed in perl-cleaner-2.13 (backtrack option added per default).
