Planning to 'emerge -pv eix' for the latest 0.17.1 in testing,
I was surprised by
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] app-arch/xz-utils-4.999.9_beta 1,014 kB
[uninstall ] app-arch/lzma-utils-4.32.7 USE="-nocxx"
[blocks b ] app-arch/lzma-utils ("app-arch/lzma-utils" is blocking
app-arch/xz-utils-4.999.9_beta)
[blocks b ] app-arch/xz-utils ("app-arch/xz-utils" is blocking
app-arch/lzma-utils-4.32.7)
[ebuild U ] app-portage/eix-0.17.1 [0.17.0] USE="bzip2%* -deprecated -doc
-nls sqlite -tools" 470 kB
I understand the "blocks" lines, but am uneasy about uninstalling Lzma-utils,
which seems to have many important dependencies:
root:503 ~> equery d lzma-utils
[ Searching for packages depending on lzma-utils... ]

sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.27-r2 (app-arch/lzma-utils)
sys-libs/gpm-1.20.5 (app-arch/lzma-utils)
Can anyone explain what's going on ?
