It's not. Here's the exact line: <media-libs/openexr-1.5.0 blocking ilmbase-1.0.1 ^ Note this. It's saying that your existing openexr (which is a version less than 1.5.0) is blocking ilmbase-1.0.1. Simply unmerge openexr and remerge the versions you do want. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
