My guess is that at least one of your issues has something to do with the new portage behavior regarding buid time dependencies. This is the relevant message displayed when upgrading: In portage-2.1.2, installation actions do not necessarily pull in build time dependencies that are not strictly required. This behavior is adjustable via the new --with-bdeps option that is documented in the emerge(1) man page. For more information regarding this change, please refer to bug #148870. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
