It should all be in the emerge output, although it's quite hard to read. If you want help interpreting it you could post the complete conflict output, but what you've posted in your initial message is just the bit that says that python-exec-2.4.8 requires python-exec-conf-2.4.6. That's not a conflict, that's just one of the packages having one dependency. To have a conflict, a different package would need to require a different version. Most of the times this particular kind of conflict is with an older package that requires older PYTHON_TARGETS than can be provided, and I expect something that got depcleaned with ipkg-utils, or ipkg-utils directly, required python-exec or python-exec-conf with PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_7". Note that dev-lang/python itself is not the source of any of these problems, I still have python 2.7 and 3.10 installed (along with 3.9 which is the default version on this machine now).
