Hi folks,
I have come across blocked packages [1] before, but this time I am
having a hard time solving things. Accordings to the attached log,
there
is a hard block of dev-python/setuptools_scm somewhere, preventing the
update of that package.
Could somebody point me in the way of resolving this issue? Thanks.

I just got through this. I ended up doing
emerge -C setuptools_scm
followed by
emerge -1 setuptools_scm
There is a forum post about this
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8334280.html.
The DEPEND line !!<dev-python/setuptools_scm-3 is in the 3.2.0 ebuild.
My limited understanding is that the new version can't even
successfully be built if the older version is present. I confirmed
this by finding that even just building a binary package of 3.2.0
failed, although it wasn't clear to me what the old version had to do
with that failure.
I hope there is either a bug filed, some sort of newsitem, or else
someone finds a way for portage to just handle it by itself.
