When I try to start an update: emerge --update --deep @world --ask I get the error that the Xlibs which I am using for the zsnes emulator on my box do block the update of x11-proto/dri2proto: [blocks B ] app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs[-abi_x86_32(-)] ("app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs[-abi_x86_32(-)]" is blocking x11-proto/dri2proto-2.8-r1) * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be * installed at the same time on the same system.

I'm not sure, but it looks like you may have the following (can you confirm?): 1. A mostly stable system (no ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64, and few or no packages installed with ~amd64 via package.keywords or similar). 2. AMD_X86=32 is enabled globally in make.conf 3. amd_x86_32 is NOT unmasked (no /etc/portage/profile/use.mask, or it doesn't contain "-amd_x86_32") If this is the case, then it looks like perhaps the multilib team forgot to add "x11-proto/dri2proto abi_x86_32" to "/usr/portage/profiles/arch/amd6/package.use.stable.mask"? ---- The simplest end-user workaround: Add "x11-proto/dri2proto -abi_x86_32" to "/etc/portage/package.use", although this might cause more problems whenever multilib is finally stabilized. An arguably better end-user workaround, to prevent similar problems in the future: Take AMD=32 out of make.conf, and instead only narrowly enable it for the specific "leaf" applications that need it (like wine) in "/etc/portage/package.use". A much more involved workaround: Go whole-hog native-package multilib, even though it isn't really stabilized yet. Currently installing emul-linux* packages with abi_x86_32 enabled is not easily supported unless you go unstable (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64), but enough packages have been converted that there is a reasonably good chance you could get your mostly-stable system working without emul-linux* packages at all. For details, see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7509542.html?sid=c5b44664c998872c1c014477e22c3048#7509542
The emul-linux-x86 packages have been removed.
