Created attachment 427942 [details] emerge --info Presently dev-util/mdds-0.12.1 depends on dev-libs/boost:0/1.57.0= boost-1.57.0 was removed from the tree in commit https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/0f535d4042744508ed2da69b2a2279ff37c207c7 thereby breaking the dependency. !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: dev-libs/boost:0 (dev-libs/boost-1.56.0-r1:0/1.56.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot) (dev-libs/boost-1.57.0:0/1.57.0::gentoo, installed) pulled in by dev-libs/boost:0/1.57.0= required by (dev-util/mdds-0.12.1:0/0.12.1::gentoo, installed)
no .. its just built against boost-1.57 and .. needs to be rebuilt ( against another version of boost) before the conflict can be resolved .. what was your command-line that prompted this "conflict"
Well, clearly I need to re-read the section on slot dependencies. This is what I get for being out of it for a while. Sorry for the derp.
