I searched and there are a bit similar bugs but not this one. It's far enough to warrant imho a new bug being opened. There are two different versions of libXrender that are needed to satisfy the dependencies on my system as it is built atm. here's the output : ric ric # emerge -puD world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies / !!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been !!! pulled into the dependency graph: x11-libs/libXrender:0 ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/libXrender-0.9.2', 'merge') pulled in by ('installed', '/', 'x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r2', 'nomerge') ('installed', '/', 'x11-libs/libXrender-0.9.4', 'nomerge') pulled in by ('installed', '/', 'x11-libs/pango-1.18.3', 'nomerge') ('installed', '/', 'x11-apps/xclock-1.0.3', 'nomerge') ('installed', '/', 'dev-dotnet/libgdiplus-1.2.4', 'nomerge') (and 20 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. ... done!
