Hello list! I'm trying to update @world, and I'm getting a problem with blocking packages which I'm not sure if I understand. It looks like a circular blocking problem, but not sure.
Here's what emerge is telling me: [ebuild U ] app-text/texlive-2016::gentoo [2015::gentoo] USE="X context detex dvi2tty extra graphics humanities jadetex luatex omega png pstricks publishers science tex4ht texi2html truetype xetex xindy xml -cjk -epspdf -games -metapost -music -pdfannotextractor" L10N="-af -ar -as -bg -bn -br -ca -cs -cy -da -de -el -en -en-GB -eo -es -et -eu -fa -fi -fr -ga -gl -gu -he -hi -hr -hsb -hu -hy -ia -id -is -it -ja -kn -ko -la -lo -lt -lv -ml -mn -mr -nb -nl -nn -no -or -pa -pl -pt -rm -ro -ru -sa -sco -sk -sl -sq -sr -sv -ta -te -th -tk -tr -uk -vi -zh" 0 KiB [blocks B ] <dev-texlive/texlive-latex-2016 ("<dev-texlive/texlive-latex-2016" is blocking dev-texlive/texlive-basic-2016) [blocks B ] <dev-texlive/texlive-latex-2016 ("<dev-texlive/texlive-latex-2016" is hard blocking dev-texlive/texlive-latex-2016) [blocks B ] <dev-texlive/texlive-basic-2016 ("<dev-texlive/texlive-basic-2016" is blocking dev-texlive/texlive-langgerman-2016, dev-texlive/texlive-langcyrillic-2016) [blocks B ] <dev-texlive/texlive-langcyrillic-2016 ("<dev-texlive/texlive-langcyrillic-2016" is hard blocking dev-texlive/texlive-basic-2016) [blocks B ] <dev-texlive/texlive-langgerman-2016 ("<dev-texlive/texlive-langgerman-2016" is hard blocking dev-texlive/texlive-basic-2016) [blocks B ] <dev-texlive/texlive-basic-2016 ("<dev-texlive/texlive-basic-2016" is hard blocking dev-texlive/texlive-basic-2016) Total: 40 packages (36 upgrades, 1 new, 1 in new slot, 2 reinstalls, 2 uninstalls), Size of downloads: 500,112 KiB Conflict: 9 blocks (6 unsatisfied) * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be * installed at the same time on the same system.
