Hi! I've try to upgrade currently installed ~amd64 system with profile plasma/systemd and get an error: emerge -uDU --with-bdeps=y @world Calculating dependencies... done! !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: sys-libs/ncurses:0 (sys-libs/ncurses-6.0:0/6::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot) (sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r4:0/0::gentoo, installed) pulled in by >=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2:0/0= required by (app-text/aspell-0.60.6.1-r2:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^^^^^ (and 9 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. 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. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. WARNING: A requested package will not be merged because it is listed in package.provided: sys-apps/openrc pulled in by 'system' emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "sys-libs/ncurses:5/6=".
