Subject: [gentoo-user] slot conflict

Message-Id: 49CF14A5.5060509@uri.edu
1 Working on a amd64 machine, I did
2 emerge -D -uav world
3 and got the following response:
4
5 !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
6 !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:
7
8 dev-lang/python:2.5
9
10 ('installed', '/', 'dev-lang/python-2.5.2-r7', 'nomerge') pulled in by
11 dev-lang/python required by ('installed', '/',
12 'dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.24-r1', 'nomerge')
13 >=dev-lang/python-2.2 required by ('installed', '/',
14 'app-pda/libopensync-0.22', 'nomerge')
15 dev-lang/python required by world
16 (and 19 more)
17
18 ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-lang/python-2.5.2-r7', 'merge') pulled in by
19 >=dev-lang/python-2.3[-build,xml] required by ('ebuild', '/',
20 'app-text/iso-codes-3.6', 'merge')
21 dev-lang/python required by world
22
23
24 It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
25 prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
26 possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
27 impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
28 dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
29 installed simultaneously.

31 For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
32 or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

34
35 emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
36 ">=app-text/poppler-bindings-0.8[gtk,cairo]".
37 !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
38 - app-text/poppler-bindings-0.10.4 (Change USE: +cairo)
39 (dependency required by "app-text/evince-2.24.2" [ebuild])
40 (dependency required by "world" [argument])
41
42 I would be grateful for suggestions as to (1) which package if any
43 should be masked, and (2) what to do about app-text/poppler-bindings.
