I've been through this one already ;) The ~amd64 keyword wants a newer
version of udev (182-r3) than you have. The question is why you still
have the old version of udev. Did you maybe mask the newer udev to avoid
the infamous separate-usr-partition-is-deprecated problem?

A normal update world turned up the error below
(~amd64, gnome profile)
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:
sys-apps/pciutils:0
(sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r1::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
>=sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r1[-compress-db] required by (sys-fs/udev-171-r5::gentoo, installed)
(sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
(no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)
I certainly see where -r1 and -r2 would be a slot conflict but
1. The comment with -r1 says it needs >= -r1, so why would -r2 work?
2. The comment with -r2 seems to say -r2 is not really needed and -r1
would work.
The first one seems to say -r2 would be fine for everything; the second
that -r1 would be fine for everything. But clearly neither is fine for
everything since I have a slot conflict with both versions needed.
Could someone please explain this?
thanks,
allan

Yes indeed I have it masked for exactly that reason. I will be going to
a combined / + /usr when the semester ends. I use this machine for my
lectures and assignments so prefer to break it from late may through
august.
I just tried masking the -r2 (and higher) pciutils.
But this conflicts with a newly-required hwids-2012-0401.
The later is required by a new usbutils-005-r1
This led me to mask >=usbutils-005-r1.
Now the proposed update world leaves portage happy, but me worried. I
haven't actually done the update world. It is reasonably to have so
much masking? (The output of the update --ask world is below)
I am wondering if it would be safer to not update at all for 6 weeks.
Then, with the semester over, try the huge update and if it is too hard
to get working, do a reinstall. That certainly doesn't sound appealing.
Does the following seem like too much masking or does it seem
reasonable?
in /etc/portage/package.mask (a directory) I have.
README
# First masked udev-181 to postpone needing to combine / and /usr
# This then required masking consolekit
# At that point things were OK for a while
#
# Now (2 april) I need to mask the new pciutils since the new one
# causes a mysterious-to-me slot conflict.
# This mask blocks hwids, which a new usbutils requires.
# So I mask the new usbutils.
# Now portage is willing to do the update. Success??
# The lvm mask is related but is probably a bug in lvm
# (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409921) so I have
# that one in a separate file
udev-181
>=sys-fs/udev-181
>=sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5-r3
>=sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r2
>=sys-apps/usbutils-005-r1
lvm-2.01.95
>=sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.95

PS. I still don't understand the two error msgs from portage given in my
previous msg, neither of which indicate to me a real problem. But that
is more for my education and ability to decipher them better in the
future than for fixing any problem.
PPS. Here is the pre-update output from update --ask world
ajglap gottlieb # mount /mnt/junk; PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/mnt/junk/portage-tmpdir emerge --keep-going --update --newuse --with-bdeps=y world; umount /mnt/junk

Yes. What has happened is that the ID data has been moved out of pciutils
and usbutils, so hwids blocks the older versions. If you want to stick
with the older udev, you need the older pciutils and this means you need
a matching version of usbutils. All this will disappear when you unmask
udev, as it did for me yesterday.

It didn't for me.
I did:
emerge -C usbutils
emerge -C pciutils
emerge hwids
emerge usbutils pciutils
Not the most elegant approach, sure.

Now I think about it, I'd already forced the update to the latest
pciutils, then hit the reverse problem, udev wanting to downgrade. That's
what fixed itself when I unmasked udev-18*.

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a
