I'm down to this now: --- ~ # emerge -p --oneshot sys-apps/portage --verbose-conflicts These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: sys-apps/portage:0 (sys-apps/portage-3.0.20-r6:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) USE="(ipc) native-extensions rsync-verify xattr -apidoc -build -doc -gentoo-dev (-selinux) -test" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_9 (-pypy3) (-python3_10) -python3_8" pulled in by sys-apps/portage (Argument) (sys-apps/portage-3.0.4-r1-3:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="(ipc) native-extensions rsync-verify xattr -apidoc -build -doc -gentoo-dev (-selinux) -test" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_7 (-pypy3) -python3_6 -python3_8 -python3_9" pulled in by sys-apps/portage[python_targets_python3_7(-),-python_single_target_pypy3(-),-python_single_target_python3_6(-),-python_single_target_python3_7(-),-python_single_target_python3_8(-)] required by (app-portage/gentoolkit-0.5.0:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="-test" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_7 (-pypy3) -python3_6 -python3_8" --- This looks like portage is blocked by itself... so how to solve this one? cu Gerrit
