The problem is that emerge thinks boost is masked for whatever reason

I had a similar issue on one of my computers. Running `emerge -1
=dev-util/boost-build-1.60.0 =dev-libs/boost-1.60.0' fixed it.
Only happened on one of my computers and increasing backtracking didn't
help so I'm not sure exactly why it didn't want to update, but
explicitly telling emerge to install it seemed to help for me.

Notice this line.
=dev-util/boost-build-1.58* required by (dev-libs/boost-1.58.0-r1:0/1.58.0::gentoo, installed)
^ ^^^^^
Note the ^ and the ^^^^^ part. That seems to be the important part.
Me, I would check package.* files and see if there is a entry for boost
in there. It seems to be pointing out that there is a problem with that
specific version and a = sign somewhere. It could be a keyword that
only applies to that version and it needs a newer version keyworded or
there could be a entry in package.use that has a version attached to
it. I might add, I try not to put versions on packages in package.use.
It just seems to lead to trouble. May want to check package.mask too if
you find nothing in the other files.
Also a -t might help too. Maybe.
If that doesn't help, Alan M. will come along with his crystal ball
soon, I hope.

Hi Simon, hi Dale,
thanks for your replies ! :)
I will check first for package* occurences of boost, since this may be
the root of all evil.
If nothing helps, I will be back ;)

Be careful upgrading boost & boost-build. I updated to 1,60.0 a little while
ago, and akonadi stopped working until I went back to version 1.58.0
This also stopped anything that depends on akonadi, things like kmail.

Hah! That's one of those blockers that makes little or no sense.
boost has this dep:
DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
=dev-util/boost-build-${MAJOR_V}*"
and boost-build does not depend on boost.
So, logically you'd expect boost to want to upgrade to 1.60, notice
boost-build's dep and upgrade boost-build as well to match. But it
doesn't, because boost-build-1.60 is masked for <null> reason.
It really looks and smells like a bug in emerge[1] when updating world
where it considers boost-build first, fixes the version to use to match
current boost, and then can't find a way to upgrade boost.
Solution would seem to be to emerge -C either of them and let portage
get on with it. Or upgrade just upgrade boost-build by itself then do world
[1] I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "bug" as such, because nothing
in the spec requires a package manager to guarantee that it will always
find the best way to upgrade everything. It only needs to keep the
system consistent with the ebuilds it has.

Hi Alan,
thanks for your reply! :)
...and I thought it was me being too limited to see the real truth
behind that what it is The Matrix.
But it was only a deja-vu....oh wait! It was NO deja-vu ... no
glitch in The Matrix...we had similiar emerge-ncies in the past. ;)
I will see how far I can go...I was warned to use 060 of boost...
Best regards,
Meino

It reminds me of many years back with two packages that depend on each
other and portage couldn't deal with updating both at the same time.
emerge -C got a lot of use back then :-)

Don't forget to use -1aDv when you emerge boost manually as Alan suggested,
unless for some reason you want boost in your world file.

I might add, I added --oneshot to my make.conf command for emerge a long
time ago. When I really want something in the world file, I add it with
the --select y option on the command line, add -n if already installed.
My thinking, I have to put in effort to add something to the world file
instead of putting in effort to not do it. I also don't have to worry
about forgetting to use -1 either. If I forget to use --select, I'll
see it when I run --depclean. Y'all do look at the list --depclean
spits out first right? lol
Since I did that, my world file has been improved a LOT. Before that,
it was a train wreck.

Good idea, but you can use -n with packages that aren't installed and
portage will install them as well as adding them to @world.

-1 is fine, but don't use -D in that manual step; you do not want deep here.
That happens later when you do a regular world update
