I'm no pro at this but I think if you update xinit and sysvinit first it
will clear that block. It could be the other way around tho. If init
packages first doesn't work, try the display-manager-init first.
Sometimes emerge spits things out backwards.
One could remove those two *init packages but if you are actually
running that install, it could cause issues. If done while chrooting
in, it should be safe.
One of those methods *should* work. In theory. ;-)
