[Description Juergen Rose 2018-06-15 15:18:52 UTC]

The installation of some scientific packages [e.g. https://bugs.gentoo.org/657984, https://bugs.gentoo.org/658034, https://bugs.gentoo.org/658026] is failing now on several machines. Could it be a result of a broken eselect, see  https://bugs.gentoo.org/568038 or https://github.com/gentoo/sci/issues/453?
