Maybe, but determining parts that are not affected and emerging them
(don't forget --oneshot) will reduce the package list and make it easier
to see what is going on.

We don't know what this does better to post the command that script runs.
It appears that command includes -v, better to run without it to avoid
useful information being buried in verbose irrelevancies.

This appears to be the main culprit, I remember having to set
USE="minimal" for kde4-l10n when switching to KDE 5 some months ago. Set
that and the list of blockers will reduce to a manageable level, or even
zero if you're lucky!
