Ok, but this will remove php-5, and that's not what I want. I want to remove |
| 15 |
dev-php/php any version, but I do that (I think the right syntax to do it is |
| 16 |
emerge -C dev-php/php), I got the previous message, obvisoualy there is an |
| 17 |
inconsistence on my system: |
| 18 |
- To update a package that is blocked by another package is required |
| 19 |
- The required package is not installed. |

It looks like the point is php has migrated. The version 4.x and below are |
| 22 |
located in dev-php and the version 5.x and above are locate in dev-lang, so is |
| 23 |
there an inconsistency in the portage tree when unmasking php-5.x and above? |
