I could make it possible to allow pulseaudio to be installed, but that should not be the way. There is absolutely no reason why suddenly pulseaudio is mandatory, especially on a server. BTW this server has been running for months and has seen updates before. Only with the last one, this pulseaudio 'thingie' comes up as an issue.

Did you perform cl-update -s before emerge calculate-utils?

The first action when this server was due for an update was indeed 'just' using the cl-update commnand. That's when the message about pulseaudio first appeared. Strangely enough I did an update on a server in the office earlier that day, same way of installing and the same 'extra' applications (just a little more up-to-date than the server with the issue) and there was no problem.

We found the problem with binary package. Updates coming soon.
