Usually these emerge blockages disappear after a few days, but this |
| 2 |
one has been hanging around for a while. Apparently my google-fu is |
| 3 |
pretty bad on this subject because I can't find anything useful. |

Here are snippets from the most recent sync and -p update: |

I suppose the first mystery is why it wants to downgrade xorg-server. |
| 26 |
I do have an overflowing world file from my not understanding that |
| 27 |
portage is not smart enough to figure things out better, but I have |
| 28 |
been cleaning it up, and removing every single "x11-driver" entry |
| 29 |
doesn't change it from wanting to downgrade. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
The second mystery is why libpciaccess is involved in this. Is this |
| 32 |
because xorg-server-1.4 can't tolerate a recent libpicaccess and needs |
| 33 |
to downgrade? The message doesn't say that. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Is there a reasonable way to resolve this? X works fine for me as is |
| 36 |
with 1.5.2, so I am not in a hurry to downgrade. But it is annoying |
| 37 |
seeing this blockage week after week. |
