Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: dev-libs/boost:0 (dev-libs/boost-1.55.0-r1000::gentoo, installed) pulled in by dev-libs/boost:0/1.55.0=[python,python_targets_python2_7(-),-python_single_target_jython2_5(-),-python_single_target_jython2_7(-),-python_single_target_pypy(-),-python_single_target_pypy3(-),-python_single_target_python3_3(-),-python_single_target_python3_4(-),python_single_target_python2_7(+)] required by (dev-games/cegui-0.8.4::gentoo, installed) dev-libs/boost:0/1.55.0= required by (net-p2p/qbittorrent-3.1.11::gentoo, installed) (dev-libs/boost-1.56.0-r1000::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot) 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. You may want to try a larger value of the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if that will solve this conflict automatically.
