I may put this off until Xmas break (I cannot afford to wedge this system
right now), but I'm worried by the results of an emerge --pretend:
It looks like 20 packages or so want eselect-1.2.3, but it's blocked by
eselect-news which is required by world.
Is there a sane way through this update? Details below.
