[ebuild U ] sys-libs/libsepol-2.1.0 [2.0.32] [ebuild U ] sys-libs/libselinux-2.1.0 [2.0.71] USE="(python%*)" [ebuild U ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.10.11 [2.1.7.16] USE="(ipc%*) less%* (python2%*)" *** Portage will stop merging at this point and reload itself, then resume the merge. [blocks B ] <app-admin/logrotate-3.8.0 ("<app-admin/logrotate-3.8.0" is blocking sys-apps/portage-2.1.10.11) * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be * installed at the same time on the same system.
