Hi all,
I would like to use emerge -D on my system, but it is pretty
consistently blocked. You can see an example of this below.
I think the reason for this is because I have masked Xorg. I'm still
running 1.3.0.0-r6. My last attempt to upgrade Xorg resulted in a
totally hosed system which had to be restored from backups.
Is there a way I can do a deep emerge and have the latest versions of
Xorg masked? Or is such an action simply not possible without
upgrading Xorg?
Thanks much, Skippy

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been
pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:
x11-libs/libXrender:0
('installed', '/', 'x11-libs/libXrender-0.9.4', 'nomerge') pulled in
by >=x11-libs/libXrender-0.6 required by ('installed', '/',

('installed', '/', 'x11-libs/libXcursor-1.1.9', 'nomerge')
('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/libXrender-0.9.2', 'merge') pulled in by

'merge') >=x11-proto/renderproto-0.9.3 required by ('installed', '/',
'x11-libs/libXrender-0.9.4', 'nomerge')
It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-base/xorg-server-1.4" have
been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to
complete your request:
- x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.3 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)
- x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.2.901 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)
- x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r7 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)
