It looks like there are dependency conflicts involving the packages sys-libs/gdbm and media-libs/tiff in your Gentoo system.
The error messages indicate that there are conflicting versions and USE flags for these packages.
Any hint how to resolve it?

The messages say that python requires USE=berkdb on sys-libs/gdbm,
while hylafaxplus requires an older version of media-libs/tiff.

The first one you can fix yourself, while the other probably needs an
update of hylafaxplus that supports the newer versions.

You are correct, thank you.
The first one was an error from my old setting, I had USE= -berkdb removing it solve the problem
Second hylafaxplus require tiff less than 4.6.0 so masking 4.6 version solved the problem as well.
