In my original posting, the only difference causing the slot collision for jinja was that one had a PYTHON_TARGETS of 3-7 and the other of 3-8.  I asked how to force it to the correct value, but if someone explained that to me, I didn't understand it.


Your output gives away that you STILL have not run depclean, so you
STILL have dev-python/ipaddress installed, which has been removed from
the tree, and requires python 2.7. Unless you remove old broken
software you will NEVER get through a world update.

Also: don't set PYTHON_TARGETS unless you have a REALLY good reason.
You can set it on a specific package (and preferrable to set it only
on a specific version of that package) to go around problems, but
DON'T do this until you have made your system sane (meaning you can
run world updates without troubles).
