I have app-text/tetex-3.0-r2 installed on my system. I did a: emerge latex-beamer -pv These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] dev-tex/xcolor-2.00 0 kB [ebuild N ] dev-tex/pgf-0.64 0 kB [ebuild N ] dev-tex/latex-beamer-3.00 which emerged fine. then doing the next emerge -up world --deep gave me this: emerge -up world --deep These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [blocks B ] dev-tex/pgf (is blocking app-text/tetex-3.0-r2) [blocks B ] dev-tex/xcolor (is blocking app-text/tetex-3.0-r2) [blocks B ] dev-tex/latex-beamer (is blocking app-text/tetex-3.0-r2) so why didn't those three packages got prevented from being emerged in first place?
Because their are included in tetex-3.
Err, sorry. I misread it - you mean the block is missing the other way round. See the other bug.

but the example files shipped with tetex need pgf and xcolor to work. pdflatex /usr/share/doc/tetex-3.0-r2/latex/beamer/examples/beamerexample1.tex: (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/keyval.sty)) ! LaTeX Error: File `pgf.sty' not found. ! LaTeX Error: File `xcolor.sty' not found. Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed, so you should make them a dependency on tetex-3
Please, don't reopen this bug, it is duplicate. Post to the other bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 94815 ***
