Dear Gentoo Developers! Please fix this bug as soon as possible, because I think it's a fatal error for the Developers using mono/monodevelop/mono-debugger/monodoc etc. After an emerge -DuNpv mono-debugger, I've got this 4 last lines: [blocks B ] dev-lang/mercury ("dev-lang/mercury" is blocking dev-util/mono-debugger-2.2) [blocks B ] dev-util/monodoc ("dev-util/monodoc" is blocking dev-lang/mono-2.2-r3) [blocks B ] dev-util/mono-debugger ("dev-util/mono-debugger" is blocking dev-lang/mercury-0.13.1-r2) [blocks B ] >=dev-lang/mono-2.2 (">=dev-lang/mono-2.2" is blocking dev-util/monodoc-2.0) It's a very serious BUG in the portage tree, because I can't use my mono development environment because of dev-lang/mercury-0.13.1-r2 and the other Blocking State isn't reasonable(monodoc-mono)! In my work place I use Fedora Core 10, 64 bit OS, and the dev-util/mono-debugger installs the /usr/bin/mdb file to debug mono application, but in this case this file (/usr/bin/mdb) belongs to the dev-lang/mercury program! This 2 application are absolutely different, so please fix it as soon as possible! This was the mono-debugger-mercury problem, but I can't understand monodoc-mono are blocked. It's an interesting thing again! So in this case the new testing version of mono, named dev-lang/mono-2.2-r3, is absolutely useless, because the user can't install them! You know we couldn't work with these tools in my work place, and home too. I must use Fedora Core 10, because I don't like install program manually! :o) I hope it won't take too much time to fix it! Thank You! Reproducible: Always

From the mono-debugger ebuild: DEPEND="${RDEPEND} !dev-lang/mercury" Changelog: 06 Dec 2008; <keri@gentoo.org> mono-debugger-0.60.ebuild, mono-debugger-2.0.ebuild: Block against dev-lang/mercury. Closes bug #247432 dev-lang/mercury and dev-util/mono-debugger both install /usr/bin/mdb So those two can't coexist at the moment.
OK! But why is >=dev-lang/mono-2.2 block dev-util/monodoc-2.0? Every application for the Mono Development Environment requires monodoc too!
Blockers are not bugs.
and what's the reason for it?
Beginning with mono-2.2, monodoc is a part of mono. That's why I have created virtual/monodoc and migrated all packages in tree to use it, so portage could resolve the blocker for you unless you had added dev-util/monodoc to your world file or you had out-of-tree ebuilds that depend on dev-util/monodoc. The fix for the first case is to unmerge monodoc when upgrading. The fix for the latter is to migrate the out-of-tree ebuild to use virtual/monodoc.
