Hello,

I removed sage-6.7 from my gentoo system, because it requires old
python packages. These old python generates further bugs. I posted a
gentoo bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=547064 , but I did
not get any answer.

If I now try to reinstall sage, three python packages should be
downgraded generating a slot conflict:

root@lynx:/root(43)# emerge -pvD sage

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
