Hallo, when I try to emerge something with -U option I receive the
following message:

!!! Error: the <dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05-r6 package conflicts
with another package.!!!        both can't be installed on the same
system together.
!!!        Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.

>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

With --pretend I obtain this output:
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Why the first package blocks everything I try to emerge with the -U
option? How can I remouve this block? Is it safe to remove this block?

Thanks, Pietro.
