[gentoo-user] Large update blocked

I may put this off until Xmas break (I cannot afford to wedge this system
right now), but I'm worried by the results of an emerge --pretend:

It looks like 20 packages or so want eselect-1.2.3, but it's blocked by
eselect-news which is required by world.

Is there a sane way through this update?  Details below.

[blocks B     ] app-admin/eselect-news ("app-admin/eselect-news" is blocking
app-admin/eselect-1.2.3)

Sounds like eselect-news is in your world file, which can be verified by
gunning 'grep eselect-news /var/lib/portage/world'.  Why not unmerge
eselect-news, do the upgrade, then emerge it afterwards?

HTH,

David

P.S.  If the unmerge doesn't break the log jam, you can emerge
eselect-news and get back to "normal".

Which means it is required by you.

Just remove eselect-news. From looking at eselect's ebuild I deduce that its 
functionality is taken over by eselect itself.

I had the same thing a while back. The above is correct. Remove
eselect-news as the functionality is now in eselect.

Obsessively opposed to the typical.
