It only took a 3 days, but today, I'm helping a user who has a massive upgrade
problem.
Among it, is this gem of a "conflict"

Why the hell is this happening?
Oh. Because portage is blocking upgrading something because they're
pulled into the graph by --with-bdeps=y
Passing --with-bdeps=n removes half of these conflicts ( but not all,
but thats probably some other problem, but I have no idea -what-
because portage refuses to tell me )
Portage just ain't bothered to try upgrading them properly, and ain't
smart enough to know that this is not an issue in the first place.
But I'd bet the remaining ones are "somebody did it wrong once upon a
time, but the user sill has installed copies of the packages where it
was done wrong"
But stupid portage is escallating *everything* to this stupid standard.
Which is garbage, because "upgrade setuptools" should in no way break
*anything* that is currently installed, let alone, something like x264
( which was the target problem at the time of trying to fix this )
And portage just *isnt* smart enough to fix this on its own.
Please spend more time helping users in #gentoo, you will see messes
like this on a *daily* basis.
