Description Jonathan Hayward 2009-08-21 14:29:29 UTC
My attempted update failed by requiring two different versions of xulrunner in the same slot:

# emerge --deep --update --newuse world
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] net-misc/neon-0.28.6 [0.28.4]
[ebuild     U ] net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.1.2-r1 [1.9.0.11-r1] USE="alsa%* python%* -debug%" 
[ebuild  N    ] www-client/epiphany-2.24.3-r10  USE="python -avahi -debug -doc -networkmanager -spell" 

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

net-libs/xulrunner:1.9

  ('ebuild', '/', 'net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.1.2-r1', 'merge') pulled in by
    =net-libs/xulrunner-1.9* required by ('installed', '/', 'dev-python/gtkmozembed-python-2.19.1-r11', 'nomerge')
    net-libs/xulrunner:1.9 required by ('installed', '/', 'gnome-extra/yelp-2.24.0-r10', 'nomerge')
    net-libs/xulrunner:1.9 required by world

  ('installed', '/', 'net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.0.11-r1', 'nomerge') pulled in by
    =net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.0* required by ('ebuild', '/', 'www-client/epiphany-2.24.3-r10', 'merge')
    (and 3 more)


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.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On my system, emerge --deep --update --newuse world
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
emerge bails as pasted above.

Expected Results:  
Emerge should build and install recent updates to my system.
