Below that one I used 'emerge -uDNvtp world' and get those blockers. emerge -utvp @world now comes back clean. If I add 'UD' into those flags for an update, I still get the blockers. emerge -uNtvp @world just wants to rebuild cups, so that is done now >>> No outdated packages were found on your system. emerge -uDtvp @world reveals the same trouble:: [ebuild R ] sys-apps/dbus-1.8.16::gentoo USE="X systemd* -debug -doc (-selinux) -static-libs {-test}" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)" 0 KiB [ebuild N #] sys-apps/systemd-226-r2:0/2::gentoo USE="acl kdbus kmod lz4 lzma pam seccomp ssl (-apparmor) -audit -cryptsetup -curl -elfutils -gcrypt -gnuefi -http -idn -importd -nat -policykit -qrcode (-selinux) -sysv-utils {-test} -vanilla -xkb" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)" 3,823 KiB [ebuild N ] app-arch/lz4-0_p120::gentoo USE="{-test} -valgrind" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)" 159 KiB [blocks B ] sys-apps/gentoo-systemd-integration ("sys-apps/gentoo-systemd-integration" is blocking sys-fs/eudev-3.1.5) [blocks B ] sys-fs/eudev ("sys-fs/eudev" is blocking sys-apps/systemd-226-r2, sys-apps/gentoo-systemd-integration-4) [blocks B ] sys-apps/systemd ("sys-apps/systemd" is blocking sys-fs/eudev-3.1.5) Maybe emerge -1 @world, just for grins?
