Re: [gentoo-user] Logic?
The rubygem / webkit problem has cropped up recently - do something like this 1. Mask webkit (I needed to do yelp as well on one system) 2. emerge any remaining updates so you can depclean 3. emerge --depclean (this removes old ruby versions and fixes the system 4. unmask webkit etc. 4. finish the updates.

In portage's case, I have had to remove setuptools and certifi to get past a dependency loop which was preventing portage from updating. Removing as many packages as necessary generally helps. The packages can be added back once the base components are updated. Regards, John
