xcolor-2.00, tetex-3.0-r3 The files svgnam.def and xcolor.sty are exactly the same in both packages. Moreover, xcolor has no more files. The problem is that I wanted to install latex-beamer that depends on xcolor and I have tetex installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
tetex-3 blocks xcolor and latex-beamer (see DEPEND in /usr/portage/eclass/tetex-3.eclass), so I don't know how you managed to have both at the same time on your system... I believe that beamer and xcolor are both already provided by tetex-3, so there's no need to emerge them separately.
I have noticed that now but why can I do this: localhost infhfg00 # emerge -vp latex-beamer These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] dev-tex/latex-beamer-3.01 0 kB Total size of downloads: 0 kB On the other way: localhost infhfg00 # emerge -vp latex-beamer tetex These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [blocks B ] dev-tex/latex-beamer (is blocking app-text/tetex-3.0-r3) [ebuild N ] dev-tex/latex-beamer-3.01 0 kB [ebuild R ] app-text/tetex-3.0-r3 +X -Xaw3d -doc -lesstif -motif -neXt 102,063 kB Total size of downloads: 102,063 kB
I think I found where his does come from : tetex-3.0-r2 and -r3 ebuilds have DEPEND="" in them, so they simply ignore the blockers... I'm currently reemerging tetex, I'll tell you if it changes anything.
Forget what I said, the DEPEND="" thing changes nothing. But the problem is actually that at the moment, only tetex-3 blocks latex-beamer, while latex-beamer should also block tetex-3. Please see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94815 for more details and patches.
