It is reflected in the dependencies by the fact that the first dep (and generally the one chosen by portage) requires a new-enough version of util-linux *with the "tty-helpers" USE flag enabled*. You don't need multiple versions of anything installed. If you just add "sys-apps/util-linux tty-helpers" to your /etc/portage/package.use file and try again, you will likely find that portage will update everything for you without any further issues. - -- Jonathan Callen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVDtluAAoJEEIQbvYRB3mgracQAJ6roGcBYpbaAjOQ4k3aStRM zYrv2Augc6JignSm0vZeTcz4h1P5t+WgOmXaKBG7ak6NMz7fIRFW6wpTdKU7uGAl mM6oYhM4jKapFrmmkgpn3UfHWx6BjdHuWSuifvPP9WNLdppKiWqHXEE1VTcb4aDk yU3Eu/+GvMHCcXe56K0Hq4KeZaNaxiaJ/cjW6aVphDyE09C35lKgBE0HKgKknNFZ SmNyEY3TJ0ZKaYVZ6sh3yy9PrCsV5N0gq8O4m5FLDwI12MJOrzbGF5q4XcpCrtqt mTevQbja+CzE8Mhq7wyj37RjvbgT5KfDzIwVv4yTWAmnht+zKLTLvt+Tz80sQ1eX ju8tVW8R1iLUcazaBKllwI2EqLn+JaVtwyV81zSezic+gjqx9HFBRGxfawtbxdLc CEPCbjHjlMJXF2uourUkHHebNZvvpSSPnBDQ31zu++kf0nr3+QOqn6gNdqowZ9ZL V65DTo3B950FtWr/VJnA3sTye+XO5FGXwVizFjAwNZyppW3LgM27c4DjzaRYEhum FBdHVwmz4Up7P5mzrwJtel2B6vpL+sTwaFlW93n60Dq02RkvQartJ8Jle9eD45e4 jEkiBDJxSq6ZMfVLqpth/ByNdpJFONjOzjABO+9PJogUUMo4nAoGkJaXdDpjJrjE /lq1a/s+CrW8m/lZDErF =IvjR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
