Hi all!
Recently I've been seeing a lot of blocks when trying to update my system.
Here is a portion of the output from # paludis -ip world :
These packages will be installed:

As you can see, the root cause is that the packages are blocking
themselves. I saw something in the list archives about this from a
few months ago, and it was mentioned that portage has a bug that will
cause it to ignore a block on a package if it is due to that same
package. The apparent solution was to install the new version and
then remove the version that blocks.
How should I go about this? Is "--dl-blocks discard" safe in this instance?
Thanks,
Kameron
