You need to resolve each and every dependency - often sequentially or incrementally - before you go on to the next package. --nodpes is just asking your system to break. I gave you advice in my previous message - you should have emerged earlier versions of packages in order, for the reason to avoid blockers. The Gentoo devs had a GOOD REASON when they declared bash-3.2_p39 as blocking the current portage. If you had tried to emerge the earlier bash you would probably have found it blocked by an earlier portage &/or mktemp &/or com_err &/or util-linux &/or sys-libs/ ss. If you had resolved each dependency in turn you would have eventually been able to upgrade to the latest versions. I know this, because last month I did this myself. A system last upgraded in August or September 2007 now has bash-3.2_p39 and portage-2.1.6.4 installed on it. If you don't have the patience for this, then do as Alan says & reinstall the whole system. If you don't understand what I wrote, then just ask. If you want to upgrade this system then you're going to have to do a lot of work yourself. You WILL need to get older intermediate package versions from the CVS attic and you will need to Google & read the list archive to see the correct procedure for resolving the mktemp, com_err, util-linux & sys-libs/ss problems. But that really is pretty straightforward - it is clearly documented on the list "emerge version X of this, then version Y of that". Stroller.
