Gentoo Emerge Slot Conflict

Today I ran into issue with emerge by installer wanting to update perl, because of git or something that depends on perl with perl USE flag enabled.!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled!!! Posted: Wed Jul 19, 2017 1:35 pm Post subject: SOLVED Slot conflict when emerge portage. Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled!!! Into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict Have a good cry over it Find one 'Target' in the problem group. Code: Total: 227 packages (127 upgrades, 1 new, 99 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 1’934’270 KiB Conflict: 2 blocks!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled.

I'm trying to understand the explanation of this but I don't quite see it. It

Gentoo Emerge Slot Conflict Tactics

looks like conflicting libraries used by gimp, inkscape and openoffice.

I don't quite understand the explanation, and what my options are.

Translation appreciated.

Thanks,

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild U ] dev-libs/libassuan-1.0.5 [1.0.4]
[ebuild U ] dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r2 [2.5.2-r7] USE='xml%*'

Explanation:

New USE for 'app-text/poppler-bindings:0' are incorrectly set. In
order to solve this, adjust USE to satisfy '~app-text/poppler-
bindings-0.10.4[gtk,cairo]'.

app-text/poppler:0

('ebuild', '/', 'app-text/poppler-0.10.5-r1', 'merge') pulled in by
~app-text/poppler-0.10.5 required by ('ebuild', '/',

~app-text/poppler-0.10.4 required by ('installed', '/',

(and 3 more)

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
