Workaround | gentoo-kernel-bin block gentoo-kernel

[KaltWulx]

When you do emerge gentoo-kernel portage says

Calculating dependencies... done!

For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following
section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant):

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Working/Portage#Blocked_packages

You need to do:

$ sudo emerge --deselect sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin
>>> Removing sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin from "world" favorites file...
$ sudo emerge --depclean

You can continue with the $ sudo emerge gentoo-kernel

Good catch, thanks! And sorry for the inconvenience. i've just updated the guide to add an emerge -c gentoo-kernel-bin step.
