Hello list,
Today's update of my LAN server failed to resolve a block. It said it couldn't
emerge net-proxy/squid-5.7 because of:
[blocks B ] <net-proxy/squid-5 ("<net-proxy/squid-5" is hard blocking net-proxy/squid-5.7)
[,,,]
(net-proxy/squid-5.7:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
net-proxy/squid required by @apps
That's all I got. No sign of what required <net-proxy/squid-5, nor of where the < had come from.
It came from the squid ebuild itself.
From a quick look (I might have overlooked something), it sounds like it
has to be manually uninstalled beforehand (so, precisely what you did
:-) ).

The apps set does not specify a version, and no other package depends on squid, so I removed it with emerge -C, then restarted the update, which ran to
completion.
It seems to me that portage should have been able to do the same, and upgrade squid smoothly.
