The box that I'm upgrading is giving me:[blocks B ] <x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.12 ("<x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.12" is blocking x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.18-r1)
...
But this is a video driver my box is using, and I'm logged into it directly so if I unmerge the drive in use the xorg-server will crash and I I'll be in a login prompt, isn't it? Is it better to do this upgrade over "ssh" from another box?
The kernel will not actually delete a file if there is some user accessing it (xorg in this case) so unmerging xf86-video-nouveau should not affect the currently running graphical environment. Obviously don't reboot before re-emerging it.
Let me add that I'm not completely sure of what I'm writing so be ready for ssh... raffaele
