When trying to upgrade Spotify I get some dependency blocks which seems to be hard to fix. Sticking with the -r5 build for now which seems to work without problems. This is the error i get. sudo emerge -u spotify Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild UD ] dev-libs/libgpg-error-1.10 [1.12] [ebuild NS ~] dev-libs/libgcrypt-1.5.3-r100 [1.5.3] ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" [ebuild U ~] media-sound/spotify-0.9.4.183-r6 [0.9.4.183-r5] [blocks B ] dev-libs/libgcrypt:0/11 ("dev-libs/libgcrypt:0/11" is blocking dev-libs/libgcrypt-1.5.3-r100) !!!

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.

This looks more like a support question than a bug. Anyway, try 'emerge -1pv spotify dev-libs/libgcrypt:11/11 dev-libs/libgcrypt:0'. If the block is still hard, you may *carefully* try to unmerge current libgcrypt and emerge both slot 0 and 11. The next step would be a revdep-rebuild on slot 11.
Please use our forums, IRC channels and mailing lists for support.
I'm unable to fix this block due to needing libgpg-error-1.10 and libgpg-error-1.11 at the same time. They don't seem to be slotted though so this will not work.
media-sound/spotify ~amd64 =dev-libs/libgcrypt-1.5.3-r100 ~amd64 #for spotify ~dev-libs/libgcrypt-1.6.1 ~amd64 #for the rest ~dev-libs/libgpg-error-1.12 ~amd64 #the rest this is what works for me keywords-wise
So to use this build I need even more "unstable" packages... I'm trying to keep my system as free from those as possible, since it always tend to give me more problems then it's worth in the end. Guess my solution is to block out the -r6 build and continue using the -r5 build which works just fine.
