Note the < for gnome-applets, this means that a version less than 2.22.0
is causing the blockage. This could be caused by a number of things, for
example earlier version of gnome-applets included libgweather but it is
now in a separate package, so it would conflict with those earlier
versions.

If you have a earlier gnome-applets installed, unmerge it then run the
world update. If it is not pulled in my the update, merge it manually
afterwards.
