'emerge -vuDN world' fails with: ... !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: dev-lang/tcl:0 ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-lang/tcl-8.5.7', 'merge') pulled in by ~dev-lang/tcl-8.5.7 required by ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-lang/tk-8.5.7', 'merge') (and 26 more) ('installed', '/', 'dev-lang/tcl-8.4.19', 'nomerge') pulled in by =dev-lang/tcl-8.4* required by ('installed', '/', 'dev-libs/newt-0.52.8', 'nomerge') (and 26 more) So I have two possibilities, I can mask tcl-8.5.7 and tk-8.5.7 or I can unmerge newt and depending packages. At least partimage-0.6.7 depends on newt. Better would be to have a newt which is compatible with tcl-8.5.7.

Turn off the "tcl" USE flag for dev-libs/newt *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 212676 ***
sorry. I forgot to remove the mask on >=dev-libs/newt-0.52.10 when unmasking tcl/tk 8-5
fixed in CVS /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/profiles/package.mask,v <-- package.mask new revision: 1.9718 if you don't want to wait for the sync delay, just unmask =dev-libs/newt-0.52.10
