Hi Zoltan, 

if you run into issues like this, first try something like 

emerge -uDNav world

(--update --deep --newuse --ask --verbose; note the "deep")
(afaik this is the recommended way to update your system anyway)

If this doesnt help, you can try giving portage more time to backtrack, add 
e.g. the following option (warning this may take a while):

--backtrack=1000

Cheers, Andreas
