You might have noticed that setarch blocks util-linux on a recent “emerge -uD world” update.
[blocks B ] sys-apps/setarch (is blocking sys-apps/util-linux-2.13-r2)
!!! Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be installed
!!! at the same time on the same system.
util-linux-2.13 now includes setarch, so setarch is redundant and can be safely unmerged.
emerge -Cav setarch emerge -uDav world
