Description Alejandro Wainzinger 2007-01-19 19:19:04 UTC
In world update, avahi and cups block each other because avahi depends on sys-apps/dbus-0.62-r2, and cups depends on sys-apps/dbus-1.0.2 .  I don't see how those two packages could be conflicting packages, perhaps adding an extra slot for dbus to install 2 different versions at once?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -Dvut world
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
# emerge -Davut world

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating world dependencies /
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

('ebuild', '/', 'sys-apps/dbus-0.62-r2', 'merge') pulled in by
   ('ebuild', '/', 'net-dns/avahi-0.6.16-r1', 'merge')

('ebuild', '/', 'sys-apps/dbus-1.0.2', 'merge') pulled in by
   ('ebuild', '/', 'net-print/cups-1.2.7', 'merge')

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.
