Looks like mktemp is now provided by coreutils. No wonder. This block has been bugging me (read: I’ve been ignoring it) for months.
To fix just unmerge mktemp and update coreutils.
Update: Same for the setarch / util-linux block should you come across it. Unmerge setarch.
you ll need kernel >= 2.6.24 for
coreutils >= coreutils-6.12 to work or you will not be able to emerge no more.

Do yourself a big favor by updating the distfiles “Before” you Delete -Cv anything.
emerge -NuDv –fetchonly world
I have had the pleasure of coreutils not emerging after removing mktemp even with all the updates. This also works with the e2fsprogs/com_err and ss blocking.
yes. me to. ive emerge -C ss e2fsprogs com_err … …and all portage was killed. no more emerge no more ebuild.
