I get this message on attempting to emerge -uDNa @world @system on my Dell Latitude X300 Bit of digging reveals.... USE="fam" is set in the profile () dev-libs/glib has a dependency on virtual/fam I had app-admin/fam-2.7.0-r4 installed, and this pulls in ner-nds/portmap-6.0 which blocks net-nfs/nfs-utils-1.1.6-r1 and net-nfs/nfs-utils/-1.2.0 All very strange as on my desktop I have the same USE flags and no conflict? Why is this (see below)? Reproducible: Always Expected Results: emerge -C app-admin/fam && emerge app-admin/gamin && emerge -uDNa @world Turns out on my desktop the virtual/fam dependency of dev-libs/glib is fulfilled by app-admin/gamin, whereas (as per above) on the laptop its app-admin/fam. Thus the following resolved the blockage... emerge -C app-admin/fam && emerge app-admin/gamin && emerge -uDNa @world @system I'm not sure this is the "correct" way of solving this, because the dependency of dev-libs/glib is for virtual/fam, so anything that fulfils that (i.e. app-admin/fam OR app-admin/gamin) shouldn't cause any blocks (although I'm sure there _is_ a good reason why net-nds/portmap-6.0 blocks net-nfs/nfs-utils)

(In reply to comment #1) > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 272363 *** > Ultimately the same problem (i.e. virtual/fam dependency isn't sufficiently fulfilled), but the solution on the 272363 doesn't help resolve this problem as far as I can tell, because all its done is provide a new ebuild for net-nds/ypbind. This bug therefore persists and for this reason I have reopened it.
Fixed in CVS.
