I'm trying to install a package that is being blocked by a package that portage claims is not even installed:
catherine ~ # emerge -av =dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.10-r1 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.10-r1 395 kB [blocks B ] dev-util/gtk-doc-am (is blocking dev-util/gtk-doc-1.8-r2) Total: 1 package (1 new, 1 block), Size of downloads: 395 kB !!! Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be installed !!! at the same time on the same system. For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant): http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#blocked catherine ~ # emerge -pv dev-util/gtk-doc-am These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
