Strange

Like described in Discord, the new dependencies are built without define every single version needed but the general cat/pkg. This means that the existing installation needs to be aligned to last releases of all dependencies and packages installed in the system.
The problem is here the Portage solver that will be replaced with a solver similar to anise where just uses last available releases and force upgrade.
So, probably this could be fixed with:

$> emerge @system -puv
$> # or
$> emerge @wolrd -puv

I don't want lose tons of time on just add every versions to update. The problem is the solver not the ebuild.

I see the error in a incus image macaroni:macaroni/mark-unstable during an @world update.

[geaaru]

The current mark-unstable incus image is not yet aligned with the +300 packages updates in the last month... This will be expire with the new stage3 generation

[geaaru]

This is my testing env atm:

[I] dev-libs/libxml2
     Available versions:  (2) 2.11.5^t 2.15.1

[org-tekeli-borisp]

OK triyng to emerge libxml2 first

[org-tekeli-borisp]

The current mark-unstable incus image is not yet aligned with the +300 packages updates in the last month... This will be expire with the new stage3 generation

Does it make sense to close this issue?

[geaaru]

It's fine to keep this open until the new stage3 tarball will be generated ;)

Fixed with macaroni-os/dev-kit@e4c7b46
