I thought you were on to something but the version is different, which seems to make emerge behave different. I added -t this time. Maybe that will help. root@fireball / # emerge -uvaDN world -t These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Part of me thinks that doing a emerge -C util-linux and then doing the upgrade will make it fix itself. Thing is, looking at some of the commands that that package provides, unmerging that may not be a good idea. What is also puzzling, it wants to downgrade util-linux, not upgrade. It seems it wants to go back to using the eject package which is currently not needed since util-linux provides the eject command. . I seem to be going in circles here. I may have to keyword something to get past this blocker. Sort of make it not want to downgrade util-linux. Open to ideas. I'll post if I luck up on a solution. Dale :-) :-)
