emerge -C =xorg-x11-4.3.0* -- as your emerge output shows in the square brackets, it's installed: [ebuild U ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1 [4.3.0-r8] This is a result of the xfree to xorg-x11 move. Things should work fine once you uninstall it. x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 is the blocked package. 4.3.0-r8 is the installed version. This also does not explain why other versions of xorg-x11 were not blocked. I overrode the block with an 'emerge -O freetype opengl-update xorg-x11 utempter xterm' last night and it appears to have worked perfectly. Sure it does, if you understand the "less than" symbol. [blocks B ] <x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 (is blocking x11-base/opengl-update-2.1.1-r1) If you have less than xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4, you can't upgrade opengl-update. If you can't upgrade opengl-update, you can't update xorg-x11. dupe of 79606 |
