Basically, the package.mask on hal/dbus/etc breaks gnome upgrades since gnome-vfs-2.11.92 requires hal >= 0.5... this wouldn't be such an issue, but gnome-vfs-2.11.92 is *not* masked and hal >= 0.5 *is* masked. Calculating world dependencies | !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-apps/hal-0.5" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-apps/hal-0.5.2 (masked by: package.mask) # Doug Goldstein <cardoe@gentoo.org> (18 August 2005) # Masking 0.5.x of HAL & 0.3x of DBUS since they break API # Added here for Gnome purposes, pmount deps on this stuff For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook. !!! (dependency required by "gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.11.92" [ebuild])
>=gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.11 is listed in package.mask. It was added on 8/14 as shown here: http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/profiles/package.mask?rev=1.4274&view=markup This seems like a local problem. Maybe you have some old entries in package.unmask causing this package to upgrade.
It was an unmask I had... thanks... =]
