No, that's not right. The tree is consistent and portage can figure out how to get from perl-5.24 to perl-5.26 You probably have a difference locally, I would search through /etc/portage looking for entries that mask some perl modules and peg them to 5.24 versions. Failing that, maybe you have a package installed that depends on a 5.24 version of some module and this is the ripple effect Perhaps run emerge with "--verbose-conflicts" and also "emerge -e world" and post the results > This is with the new profile and backtrack set to 500. > > instances within a single package slot have been pulled > !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: > > dev-lang/perl:0 > > (dev-lang/perl-5.26.1-r1:0/5.26::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) > pulled in by > =dev-lang/perl-5.26* required by > (virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Manifest-1.700.0-r4:0/0::gentoo, installed) > ^ ^^^^^ > dev-lang/perl (Argument) > (and 13 more with the same problems) > > (dev-lang/perl-5.24.3:0/5.24::gentoo, installed) pulled in by > =dev-lang/perl-5.24* required by > (virtual/perl-Term-ANSIColor-4.40.0-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) > ^ ^^^^^ > dev-lang/perl:0/5.24= required by > (dev-perl/XML-Twig-3.520.0:0/0::gentoo, installed) > ^^^^^^^^ > (and 260 more with the same problems) > > NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted > above > > It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to > prevent one of those packages from being selected.
