When I try to emerge -auvDt world, it dies on a dependency in xscreensaver. it seems that xscreensaver is expecting one version of motif-config () which has been bulldozed and replaced with another (older?) version based on I have also posted this on the forum: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-317670-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -auvDt world 2. enjoy the lightshow Actual Results: julian etc # emerge -avuDt world These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies | emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=x11-libs/motif-config-0.6". !!!

motif-config is a dependency of open-motif. This is not something xscreensaver can change. You can avoid it by having USE="gtk -motif" when you emerge xscreensaver.
It seems that one (or more?) of the rsync servers somehow doesn't have any motif-config versions newer than 0.1. I rsync once a day, and I have been getting this dependency problem once or twice a week after rsyncing, presumably when portage picks such a bum server. For example, I just synced with rsync://128.153.144.22/gentoo-portage and I have only motif-config-0.1.
I got this server again today from the rsync pool, and the problem persists: no motif-config newer than 0.1 on rsync://128.153.144.22/gentoo-portage.
seems to be a mirror problem then
rsync mirror on 128.153.144.22 is fixed
Seems to have been fixed (comment #5). .6, .7, .8, & .9 are there.
