I'm currently using the stable x11-6.8.2 with nvidia-glx/kernel 1.0.8269 and now getting this message. Performeed emerge --sync after 1st occurance and continue to get it. This was after installing kdeartwork with Use=xscreensaver, electric sheep with Use=jasper -opengl per forum suggestion due to nvidia driver. Related issue: attempting to restore opengl and revert to x11 nv driver instead of nvidia driver but continue eselect opengl set opengl !!! Error: Unrecognized option: opengl
Created attachment 90651 [details] emerge -pvD output showing blocker Here's the emerge output showing the blocking files for clarification.
X.org 7.0 was stabilized yesterday.. please read, http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml
Sorry for the confusion. The problem is with Mesa being blocked by x11-6.9 and not x11-6.8.2 as originally titled.
*** Bug 138797 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
*** Bug 138801 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The bug applies to Mesa and is not a duplicate of 138801. What happens is that attempting to emerge mesa on a stable 6.8.2.8 system is attempting to pull in x11-6.9 even though supposedly hardmasked. Yet not mask list found in /profiles/package.mask and emerge is not reading /etc/portage/package.mask as it's supposed to according to portage guide. After blowing distfiles and portage clear (seperate partitions) and synching, I'm still getting the xorg-x11-6.9 blocking mesa even though it appears to want the modular X files. Someone needs to fix the /profiles/package.mask and mesa-6.4.2-r2
Read the fine migration guide, thanks.
