I did emerge --sync today, then emerge -puNDv world. It stuck on this: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies / !!! Problem resolving dependencies for kde-frameworks/ki18n ... done! !!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "ki18n" has unmet requirements. - kde-frameworks/ki18n-5.64.0::gentoo USE="-debug -doc -test" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="-python3_6 (-python3_7)" PYTHON_TARGETS="-python3_6 (-python3_7)" The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied: exactly-one-of ( python_single_target_python3_6 python_single_target_python3_7 ) The above constraints are a subset of the following complete expression: exactly-one-of ( python_single_target_python3_6 python_single_target_python3_7 ) python_single_target_python3_6?

At this moment, I really don't know what to do.

You have omitted PYTHON_TARGETS from your emerge --info output, so I can't tell you for sure. python3_6 would be the the default, which you probably have overridden for some reason or another. Fix your make.conf and also check /etc/portage/package.use for python_target* entries that may need cleanup.
Good hint. After all of those years my package.use file is so long that I didn't notice it already has flags specifying older python for ki18n.
