new emerge failures
My usual "emerge -auDvN world" yesterdau failed over a bunch of slot
conflict for various dev-qt packages (appeared to be related to :0/30 vs
:0/30.30).  However, in process of trying various options to at least
get something emerged, I have ended up getting, for most (but not all)
invocations of emerge, something like:

Total: 114 packages (61 upgrades, 5 new, 48 reinstalls), Size of
downloads: 997,745 KiB
Conflict: 1 block (all satisfied)
Traceback (most recent call last):

That one was for a full world update, but I've also gotten it for single
packages.  Some single package invocations worked, such as updating
portage itself from 3.0.30-r3 (stable) to 3.0.30-r4 (~amd64) but the
newer version has the same failures.

I've done a bit of searching, but haven't been able to find anything
relevant.  This failure doesn't seem related to any particular conflict,
as it appears immediately after what looks like a normal list of
packages to be upgraded or reinstalled.

Thanks for any suggestions about which fine manual I should read, or
which version of portage might work any better.
