the installation of virtualbox-1.6.2 went fine. now the world update has a broken depgraph: # emerge -uDNav --with-bdeps y world ... !!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: dev-libs/xerces-c:0 ('installed', '/', 'dev-libs/xerces-c-2.7.0-r1', 'nomerge') pulled in by ('installed', '/', 'dev-libs/xalan-c-1.10.0', 'nomerge') ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/xerces-c-2.8.0', 'merge') pulled in by ('installed', '/', 'app-emulation/virtualbox-1.6.2', 'nomerge') looking at the ebuild virtualbox-1.6.2, there is RDEPEND="... dev-libs/xalan-c dev-libs/xerces-c ...". looking at dev-libs/xalan-c-1.10.0.ebuild there is RDEPEND="~dev-libs/xerces-c-2.7.0" Don't know if portage should handle this (~dev-libs/xerces-c-2.7.0 should satisfy dev-libs/xerces-c). As a workaround I removed the xerces-c-RDEPEND from virtualbox ebuild. Anyway it seems redundant for me? # emerge --info WARNING: repository at /usr/portage is missing a repo_name entry Portage 2.2_rc1 (default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.2.4, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r0, 2.6.24-gentoo-r8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r8-i686-AMD_Athlon-tm-_Processor-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 01:45:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.2.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r3 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.62-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.25-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="buildpkg ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo" LANG="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac acpi alsa apm arts asf audiofile bash-completion berkdb bluetooth bzip2 cairo caps cdparanoia cdr cisco cli cpudetection cracklib crypt css cups curl dbus divx djvu dmx dri dv dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode evo exif fbcon ffmpeg flac fortran gd gdbm gif glitz gphoto2 gpm gs gtk hal hbci iconv idn ieee1394 imagemagick imlib ipv6 irda isdnlog java jpeg kde kdeenablefinal laptop latex lcms libnotify logitech-mouse logrotate lzo mad madwifi midi mikmod mmx mmxext mng mp3 mpeg mplayer mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ofx ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcmcia pcre pdf perl png postscript ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime rdesktop readline real realmedia reflection samba sasl sdl session slang spell spl ssl startup-notification svg tcpd tetex theora threads tiff truetype unicode usb utempter vnc vorbis wifi win32codecs wmf wmp x264 x86 xcomposite xine xinerama xml xorg xv xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="joystick keyboard mouse vmmouse void synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="mach64 radeon dummy fbdev nv nvidia vesa vga vmware" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
you asked for the new version of dev-libs/xerces-c when you used --deep.
