as far as I understand updating @system first should be safer and
easier to perform than updating @world directly. It was mention that especially after updating the software after a somewhat long period
this might solve conflicts. I often do experience different and wonder
what the reason might be.
The example today would work in both ways but @system shows problems
which @world does not have. Mostly those problems seem to be bigger to
the point where @system does not work but @world does or manual package
by package uninstalling and or emerging is required.

Emerging @world considers the whole dependency tree, so it should give
better results. Emerging @system first is only recommended in cases where @world fails due to dependency issues, particularly circular dependencies.

That is what I learnd but my experience is that @system has often more dependency issues than @world.
Your signature is always a reason to read your emails even when the
