Thank you for your quick reply,
Tried your suggestion wouldn’t update sys-libs/ncurses
got this
emerge -1u sys-libs/ncurses

NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted above
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.

page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

This is a very Basic vanilla install i updates from the 15 series to the 17 , I have never added anything or changed any settings etc…so why i have these conflicts is a suprise
I also tried to update chromium on its own as that seemed to be an issue with Plug ins etc… had similar issues though with more conflicts
