21 As of version dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.5.6-r1 the ebuilds are slotted to
22 their versions. This was done to be compatible with webapp-config. As
23 older ebuild have SLOT="0", portage wants to install both version, but
24 the newer version block the older ones. You have to unmerge all older
25 version with
26
27 emerge -C "<=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.5.6"
28
29 then the blocker should go away.
