That is pulling in two different versions of Samba into the tree:

============
* Starting Python Updater from 2.4 to 2.5 :
* Adding to list: =net-analyzer/rrdtool-1.2.27
* Adding to list: =dev-python/python-fchksum-1.7.1
* Adding to list: =dev-python/pycairo-1.4.12
* Adding to list: =dev-python/numeric-24.2-r6
* Adding to list: =dev-python/pycrypto-2.0.1-r6
* Adding to list: =dev-python/pyopengl-2.0.0.44
* Adding to list: =dev-java/java-config-1.3.7
* Adding to list: =dev-java/java-config-2.1.6
* Adding to list: =net-fs/samba-3.0.28a-r1
* Adding to list: =gnome-extra/libgsf-1.14.7
* Adding to list: =sys-apps/file-4.23
* Adding to list: =media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.16
* Adding to list: =media-libs/pdflib-7.0.2_p8
* Adding to list: =sys-libs/cracklib-2.8.12

Calculating dependencies -
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

net-fs/samba:0

('ebuild', '/', 'net-fs/samba-3.0.28a-r1', 'merge') (no parents)

('ebuild', '/', 'net-fs/samba-3.0.32', 'merge') pulled in by
('installed', '/', 'net-print/cups-1.3.8-r1', 'nomerge')
============

So I tried masking net-fs/samba-3.0.28a-r1, but that wasn't productive.

Where would I go from here?

No wait - this worked. It was pulling in 2 Samba versions because
Samba was due for an update from the most recent "emerge --sync". So
I updated Samba separately first, via "emerge samba", and running
python-updater after that did not pull in any Samba.

Mission accomplished: emerge -NDavu world works fine now!

Many thanks,
