Hi, not easy to describe: On my systems I noticed that portage always wanted to rebuild app-admin/rsyslog-7.4.10. After reading the emerge debug log (which I'll attach) I noticed that the problem seems to be caused by dev-libs/liblognorm-0.37. So I decided to rebuild liblognorm and this solved my problem: portage no longer wants to re-emerge rsyslog. Howto reproduce: 1) Grab this ebuild for dev-libs/liblognorm: https://github.com/Whissi/gentoo-overlay/blob/fdc2314dafa59be62427635edc97fa4e66263d30/dev-libs/liblognorm/liblognorm-0.3.7.ebuild 2) Install app-admin/rsyslog. You can use the version from my overlay, but you can also use the version available in the official tree, they are the same. 3) Now replace the dev-libs/liblognorm ebuild with this one: https://github.com/Whissi/gentoo-overlay/blob/master/dev-libs/liblognorm/liblognorm-0.3.7.ebuild As you can see I only changed rdeps and removed a non-working USE flag... ...and now, when you run # emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse world portage always wants to rebuild app-admin/rsyslog. As said, you can break the loop when you re-emerge dev-libs/liblognorm. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: I don't understand why portage wants to rebuild app-admin/rsyslog. From the emerge debug log it looks like that portage detected a changed liblognorm ebuild but then I don't understand why portage finally decided *not* to rebuild liblognorm but rsyslog.

Created attachment 375500 [details] Another emerge debug log showing the iptables problem I think this is another variant of this bug and it feels like to be related with bug 497238. At least subslotted packages in different repositories are "exposing" the problem again. On my system I have net-firewall/iptables-1.4.21::whissi-overlay [1] installed. The important difference between net-firewall/iptables-1.4.21::gentoo and net-firewall/iptables-1.4.21::whissi-overlay is the subslot I added to my ebuild. net-firewall/iptables is not in the world set. iptables was pulled in by sys-apps/iproute2. Now, net-firewall/iptables-1.4.21-r1::gentoo became available. So I also updated my ebuild and added net-firewall/iptables-1.4.21-r1::whissi-overlay [2]. When I now try to update my system, portages wants to update from net-firewall/iptables-1.4.21:0/10::whissi-overlay to net-firewall/iptables-1.4.21-r1:0/0::gentoo instead of net-firewall/iptables-1.4.21-r1:0/10::whissi-overlay: # emerge --ignore-default-opts --pretend --verbose --update --deep world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

This fixes your problem from comment 5. Let me know if it fixed the other issue too. http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=de71f70eac5f8f82d739c2d6e5da8e7680e89efe

I attached a new debug log from the patched portage version. The first problem that portage still wants to rebuild rsyslog still exists.
released in portage-2.2.11
