Today, I wanted to update my server, so I ran: # emerge world -upD --new use to see that should be updated. It presents me with this: These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

You need to unmerge all blocking PEAR ebuilds and then upgrade PEAR-PEAR. The block is intentional, dev-php/PEAR-PEAR 1.3.6-r2 replaces dev-php/PEAR-Archive_Tar, dev-php/PEAR-Console_Getopt and dev-php/PEAR-XML_RPC to prevent collisions (Bug 107078). The block is correct, the resulting depgraph (which takes the dependencies of the highest still existing versions of blocked ebuilds, then pulls in dev-php/php and causes another block with dev-lang/php) is not. Assigning to portage; I have --debug output if you are interested (and don't think this is exactly dupe of Bug 79606).
okay, I wonder where this info was put, since I didn't read it anywhere :-( Removing them all and installing PEAR-PEAR seems to fix it. Maybe there should be some info on this, so people don't submit dublicates to this bug.

Closing due to old age.
