Hi, I have recently found this problem when trying to update my system using emerge -uDN world. Here's the output from emerge: !!! Error: the =x11-libs/openmotif-2.2.3-r3 package conflicts with another package. !!! both can't be installed on the same system together. !!! Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers. When I add the -p option to emerge this is what i find: These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [blocks B ] =x11-libs/openmotif-2.2.3-r3 (is blocking x11-libs/motif-config-0.9) [ebuild N ] app-misc/pax-utils-0.1.4 [ebuild U ] sys-apps/portage-2.0.53 [2.0.51.22-r3] *** Portage will stop merging at this point and reload itself, recalculate dependencies, and complete the merge.

So I thought i should post this. Hope it helps... Oh, i was about to forget...here's the emerge --info output: Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.1 2-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O0 -march=pentium4 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X1 1/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O0 -march=pentium4 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.samerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa audiofile bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr cups curl dts eds encode exif e xpat flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif glut gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imagemagick im lib java jpeg lcms libg++ libwww lua mng motif ncurses nls ogg opengl oss pam pd flib perl png python readline sdl spell ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts ty pe1-fonts udev vorbis wmf xml2 xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glib c" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
