However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if that will solve this conflict automatically. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

If I don't misremember gnome-panel-3 doesn't have bonobo stuff and, then, it shouldn't be compatible with lablgtk (if it really needs bonobo support)
(In reply to comment #2) > If I don't misremember gnome-panel-3 doesn't have bonobo stuff and, then, it > shouldn't be compatible with lablgtk (if it really needs bonobo support) More importantly, dev-ml/lablgtk-2.x is *based on gtk2*. It cannot and must not link to gtk3-based libraries, such as those belonging to gnome-panel-3.x If you want to use lablgtk-2.x under gnome-3, you need to emerge lablgtk with the gnome USE flag disabled.
Thanks Alexandre, after emerging lablgtk with USE=-gnome I could also emerge unison.
The message and dependencies being correct, I'm closing this bug.
