That description is broad, it sounds like you didn't pass -uD to emerge;
if it is part of the dependency graph (it should, otherwise this
discussion would be useless) and is an update (it is, due to eix-diff),
then with -uD it would pull that in.
This even doesn't have to do anything with sub-slot dependencies as far
as I know; because why would it check the sub-slot dependencies if it
were an upgrade, the upgrade takes precedence over the sub-slot
dependencies. The other option is that I am confused about this; as you
can see, given the possible scenarios that could happen I might have a
different one on mind than you do.
If backtracking doesn't get to it, it would have to list it as a
conflict; if it doesn't do that at the moment, then we certainly have a
bug somewhere I think. Thank you in advance for investigating this.
