emerge -C =gnome-common-2*; emerge --oneshot gnome-common

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 139517 ***

[Comment 2 Bodo Thiesen 2006-08-28 04:43:04 UTC]

Two questions:

1. Would emerge -C =gnome-common-2.8.0 suffice, or need both instances removed and then the one reinstalled?
2. Why marked as duplicate. I'd read the other report, but couldn't see the similarities. Or is it a general portage bug, that changing a non-slottet package to a slotted will break the system?

Regards, Bodo

Apparently your VBD has wrong slot recorded. Yes, you should unmerge both version to get things fixed.
