Having trouble emerging -u update (among other things)

[MontyPython1087]

These are the packages that need to be updated. I dont understand what the bocks B lines mean. I unmerged these files recently, and cant re-merge them.

emerge --update system
Calculating system dependencies ...done!

!!! Error: the <dev-perl/Test-Simple-0.47-r1 package conflicts with this package and both can't be installed on the same system together.

Moved from Portage & Programming to Duplicate Threads since this topic has been posted before.

If you have already unmerged dev-perl/Test-Simple and dev-perl/File-Spec you now need to
