Description Alexander Wessel 2022-01-17 11:27:34 UTC 
Apparently dev-ml/findlib-1.9.1 and dev-ml/ocamlbuild-0.14.0-r1 would both like to own /usr/lib64/ocaml/ocamlbuild/META.

The findlib package was pulled in by an update to lyx, such that
    equery depends dev-ml/findlib dev-ml/ocamlbuild dev-tex/hevea 
now yields:

 * These packages depend on dev-ml/findlib:
dev-ml/ocamlbuild-0.14.0-r1 (dev-ml/findlib)

 * These packages depend on dev-ml/ocamlbuild:
dev-tex/hevea-2.35-r1 (dev-ml/ocamlbuild)

 * These packages depend on dev-tex/hevea:
app-office/lyx-2.3.6.1-r1 (latex ? dev-tex/hevea)


Some of my (abbreviated) output with the crucial details:

Thanks. I'll have to take a look at this later.
Comment 2 Alexander Wessel 2022-01-17 18:03:04 UTC 
Sure. 

Anything I can do to help? Any pointer to portage documentation on the topic? I haven't searched yet, but if you know a specific page, let me know. What's usually the fix for something like this? I should be able to work/provide the fix, once I know what to do here.

Please unmerge ocamlbuild and findlib.

and then update what you meant to update
Comment 4 Alexander Wessel 2022-01-25 23:55:30 UTC 
This was actually a part of a @world update, but the dependency was topped out at lyx (see my original report). The findlib error kept occuring during @world-updates.

Anyway, I manned up and did a

  emerge --unmerge findlib ocamlbuild

followed by a 

  emerge -1 ocamlbuild

which pulled dev-ml/findlib-1.9.1::gentoo and dev-ml/ocamlbuild-0.14.0-r1::gentoo

back in. So this should have fixed the issue.

Thanks a million!
