I can't install sane-backends with the doc USE flag because I have ptex installed. This is because app-text/tetex (or texlive): DEPEND="${RDEPEND} doc? ( || ( app-text/tetex ( app-text/texlive dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra ) ) ) >=sys-apps/sed-4" I have ptext installed, which blocks tetex. Shouldn't the dependency be virtual/tetex or some such? For now, I've turned off docs for sane-backends in /etc/portage/package.use. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install ptex rather than tetex. 2. Add doc to your USE flags. 3. Try to emerge sane-backends-1.0.18-r6.ebuild Actual Results: Emerge fails because it can't merge tetex.

This might be a dupe of #199303 in case it really needs that particular version of tex...
Just using the virtual would not pull in texlive-latexextra AFAIK. I have no idea of ptex, will have to try if this works...
Same problem here, I am using texlive: emerge -pv sane-backends These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r6 USE="X Xaw3d doc motif tk -neXt" 0 kB [ebuild U ] media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.19-r1 [1.0.18-r6] USE="doc gphoto2 ipv6 usb -v4l" 4,201 kB [blocks B ] app-text/dvipdfm (is blocking app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r6) [blocks B ] app-text/xdvik (is blocking app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r6) [blocks B ] app-text/tetex (is blocking app-text/texlive-core-2007-r12) [blocks B ] >=app-text/tetex-2 (is blocking app-text/dvipdfm-0.13.2d-r1) Total: 2 packages (1 upgrade, 1 new, 4 blocks), Size of downloads: 4,201 kB
media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.18-r6 media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.19-r1 media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.19-r2 All of these have an OR ( || ) clause in their ebuild with tetex being the _only_ offer. Thus in case of USE="doc" enabled, the "tetex" dependency creates a conflict with _every_ other tex installed - including the 2008.0 default, being dev-texlive/texlive-* Temporarily, it helps to include an explicitly dedicated "media-gfx/sane-backends -doc" into /etc/portage/package.use - but surely, the ebuilds should be fixed in order to accomodate to other Tex suites as well.
I am not sure how to handle this one here: we have virtual/latex-base which would pull in app-text/tetex or TeXLive, but the latter withoutout the latexextra part.

fixed now latex-base + texlive-latexextra for an extra package is enough
