Sorry if this is my mistake, but it appears that the stable opengl-update (2.1.1-r1) blocks ati-drivers older than 8.8.25-r3, and the newest stable is 8.8.25. Therefore, any new install will bail out unless the user knows what he/she is doing, and I doubt this is intended. :) Can -r3 or the newer 8.10.19 drivers be unmasked? I don't have an ATi card, I'm just noticing this because of a user on IRC, so I don't know what the deal is. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge opengl-update 2.emerge ati-drivers 3. Actual Results: Complaints about ati-drivers being blocked by opengl-update. Expected Results: Clean install.
I'm having the same problem. To get around it, I have to uninstall opengl-update and ati-drivers every time I want to update world. This is what I see at the top of the output from emerge -puD world: [blocks B ] <media-video/ati-drivers-8.8.25-r3 (is blocking x11-base/opengl-update-2.1.1-r1) The two seem to merge fine as long as neither is installed. But if they are installed, I get this block when I try and update world.
The same here on a stable x86.
Cough*Luca*cough .. see bug #81513.
Sorry for the dup... But 8.10.19 x86 drivers are stable, so this and 81513 can be closed since amd64 doesn't yet have a stable ati-drivers to worry about.
Marking of 8.10 ATI drivers resolves this issue. Bug 81513 refers strictly to 8.8.25 and since they're still in the stable portage tree, I'm not going to mark as fixed unless the package maintainer deems 8.10 a full replacement (IE, no compatibility problems).
