From time to time you have to run glsa checks to keep your machine safe.

In my case, I run it by nagios, my server-monitoring tool.

So one day, it reported me this GLSA's:
200805-04
200804-20
200907-03

But when I now tried to fix them by using
glsa-check -f 200805-04
it returned

sys-libs/ss (is blocking sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.2)
sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs (is blocking sys-libs/ss-1.40.9, sys-libs/com_err-1.40.9)
sys-libs/com_err (is blocking sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.2)
<sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41 (is blocking sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.2)

what now?

The problem is simple to recognize, but tricky to solve.
