dependencies are tricky and can usually never be visualized is a straight line. This outcome is one of several possibilities. As for the blocking, eselect-1.0.3 has been removed from portage about 2 months ago. And eselect-opengl has been bumped to version 1.0.4 to resolve the blocking 2 months ago. I suggest you sync your tree again and emerge the newest releases. After syncing you should be able to upgrade to eselect-1.0.6 and eselect-opengl-1.0.4 If you get another eselect blocker after syncing you can unmerge it and run "emerge - auDv world" again. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
