I can't figure this out -- could it be a portage bug?
anything else I can try? i need to emerge this old version..
I guess the old version is blocked by a dep of some package (xterm?) depending on xorg >=6.8 Can you see if xterm or any other package depending on xorg is installed?
Copy an ebuild in the portage tree to match the name of the binary and it should work. It's a bug in portage's blocker handling with regards to binary packages.
touch /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r3.ebuild did the trick! Now the emerge of the old 6.7.0 package works. thanks
The blocker handling was rewritten in 2.1.2 so this should be fixed now.
