I'm a bit late updating a Lenovo laptop. Emerge wouldn't run due to a
conflict with virtual/libcrypt. As a workaround, I ran...
time emerge --changed-use --deep --update @world --exclude virtual/libcrypt
To quote Rowan and Martin "Later... that very same evening" (7 hours
and 265 packages) it finished. Now to tackle libcrypt. How do I handle
the following? As near as I can tell from the news item, glibc's
internal libcrypt is being replaced by an external libxcrypt but the
details are vague..
=====================================================================
[thimk2][root][~] emerge -pv --changed-use --deep --update @world

# Sam James <[email protected]> (2021-11-22)
# Mask the older libcrypt virtual (which accepted glibc[crypt]) to ease
# dependency resolution. In a fair number of cases, this has helped
# upgrades go through cleanly.
# Read the news item if you need help!
# (This mask is undone in musl profiles where the transition is not yet being
# made.)
# bug #699422.

man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
