[SOLVED] Php-related block

[ElleStone]

I'm trying to update and keep getting told there's a block. There were a lot more blocks but I've reduced it to the following, which is probably as far as I can go without a helping hand from someone more knowledgeable than myself about Gentoo (that's setting the bar very low!).

Hmm, possibly I might have gotten past this "block" problem. I'll post tomorrow if I did, what the solution was, and if not, what the remaining problem seems to be.

I have a pretty good idea of why there was a block, though no clue as to why php in particular was involved. I had installed the latest version of Blender, which meant installing a more recent version of python. Something else installed an even later version of python. The way out was to uninstall several programs, including Blender and everything that depended on python 3.3. Then reinstall those other programs, but not Blender as Blender froze my computer up and I don't feel like figuring out why. Anyway, I got back to "no blocks" by the usual method of installing small subsets of all the programs that "emerge -pv --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y @world", each time tracking down issues.
