I want to emerge the unstable masked xorg-x11-7.0.0_rc1 into my system which is now on stable. I have the older xorg-x11-6.9.99 currently installed. It blocks me after I add the x11-apps/setxkbmap to /etc/portage/package.unmask and portage.keywords. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add alle the new xorg-x11 stuff to /etc/portage/package.unmask 2. Add alle the new xorg-x11 stuff to /etc/portage/package.keywords 3. emerge xorg-x11 Actual Results: goofey ~ # emerge xorg-x11 Calculating dependencies ...done! !!! Error: the <x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0.0_rc0 package conflicts with another package. !!! both can't be installed on the same system together. !!! Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers. goofey ~ # emerge --pretend xorg-x11 These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!
