Ah excellent point, but the build did not move forward with:: ' emerge -uvDN world' either. With the --tree it did move forward with the build update. In the first attempt usually the packages to be built are listed, conflicts or blockers. None of these 3 packages where listed in the first attempt to see what needs to be built:: Not 'sys-devel/llvm', nor 'sys-devel/clang', nor 'media-libs/mesa'. <snip> > >>>> Emerging (1 of 3) sys-devel/llvm-3.7.1-r3::gentoo > > I did nothing manual in between.

Yes, nothing to do with 'media-libs/jasper' nor 'gdk-pixbuf'. So I guess the --tree option got rid of the these (conflicts issues. My point is that this is remarkably better than how things worked in the past (but not certain when these enhancements were made). Thanks for pointing out blockers vs conflicts... James
