Bug 282072 – sys-auth/pambase-20090620.1-r1 needs +consolekit to "emerge -uD world", but -consolekit to emerge gnome-base/gdm-2.20.10-r1

Total: 23 packages (22 upgrades, 1 reinstall, 1 interactive), Size of downloads: 220,228 kB

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

sys-auth/pambase:0

  ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-auth/pambase-20090620.1-r1', 'merge') pulled in by
    sys-auth/pambase[consolekit] required by ('installed', '/', 'net-wireless/bluez-4.39', 'nomerge')
    (and 5 more)

    (and 5 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.

**********************************************************************

The only quick workaround I found is to unmerge gdm, add +consolekit to pambase, update system, change to -consolekit and emerge gdm again...

Reproducible: Always

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

Actual Results:  
Update fails

Expected Results:  
Update succeeds

[Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2009-08-20 08:49:44 UTC]

you are misunderstanding the issue, also I admit this is partly portage's fault. 

gdm wants a pambase that has the same use flags as itself is set to, if there is a USE flag enabled by default (here in pambase), portage will think there is a conflict so you have to explicitely either disable or enable USE="consolekit" on pambase and reflect that on gdm is you decide to enable it.

[Comment 3 Dmitry 2009-08-20 09:09:02 UTC]

Thank you for your attention! Now, that I changed gdm +consolekit, everything goes fine! I should have noticed that before...
