This is a standard blocker, the process of how to deal with it is detailed in the handbook. But here goes: You have an arch system as per your ACCEPT_KEYWORDS. But look at the packages that want to be pulled in: a...@nazgul ~ $ eix ant-tasks * dev-java/ant-tasks Available versions: 1.7.0-r4 {X antlr bcel bsf commonslogging commonsnet elibc_FreeBSD jai javamail jdepend jmf jsch log4j oro regexp resolver} Homepage: http://ant.apache.org/ Description: Meta-package for Apache Ant's optional tasks. a...@nazgul ~ $ eix ant-core [I] dev-java/ant-core Available versions: 1.7.0 1.7.0-r1 (~)1.7.0-r2 (~)1.7.1-r1 (~)1.7.1-r2 {doc elibc_FreeBSD source} Installed versions: 1.7.1-r2(00:14:52 12/09/08) (-doc -elibc_FreeBSD -source) Homepage: http://ant.apache.org/ Description: Java-based build tool similar to 'make' that uses XML configuration files. ant-task is stable, ant-core is unstable. So, you seem to have package-unmasked the ant stuff. The ant-core ebuild says that it completely blocks ant-tasks and ant-optional. The best way to advise you what to do would be if you supply the output from the emerge you are running with the -t option. Without that my best guess would be: emerge -avC ant-tasks rerun the original emerge -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
