your system looks pretty out of date to me. Can you do a emerge -v world and see if that helps please?
Strange... Here's what I get: bash-2.05b# emerge -v world Calculating world dependencies *** Package in world file is not installed: sys-apps/fileutils *** Package in world file is not installed: sys-apps/textutils *** Package in world file is not installed: sys-apps/sh-utils ...done! !!! Error: the gnome-extra/acme package conflicts with another package. !!! both can't be installed on the same system together. !!! Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers. bash-2.05b# emerge -pv world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies *** Package in world file is not installed: sys-apps/fileutils *** Package in world file is not installed: sys-apps/textutils *** Package in world file is not installed: sys-apps/sh-utils ...done!

First three listed seems to be a problem! BTW, Is there any easier to make system more up-to-date? Report says that I have to download 400MB of sources which can be a problem using 56k connection!! Easy way might be some esential packages update. But, anyway I must solve that "blocked" error! Thanx in advance, Vlada
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1#doc_chap4 That explains blockers pretty well.
Found the problem!!! It was all about my environmental variables: WANT_AUTOMAKE=2.5 and WANT_AUTOCONF=1.something :( You decide if this is still a bug. Thanx again! Vlada
Wow. You shouldn't have those in your environment globally. Marking invalid.
