Hello, gnome-base/control-center-2.16.0 package requires ">=>=x11-base/xorg-x11-7-2.1.2" that obviously has no chance to exist and seems to be more like a nasty bug. There is nothing that can be found in the ebuild. # emerge -uDvab world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies \ emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=>=x11-base/xorg-x11-7-2.1.2".

No such thing there? Where did you get that ebuild? http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/gnome-base/control-center/control-center-2.16.0.ebuild?rev=1.2&view=markup

I finally found the troublemakers. Some old references in /etc/portage/profile/virtuals certainly needed at their time in order to migrate to the 7.0 and over xorg version, i guess. it had contained the following lines: virtual/xft >=x11-base/xorg-x11-7 virtual/x11 >=x11-base/xorg-x11-7 Strange that they changed the emerge behavior Jj
