Your problem is that the modular xorg is now in the stable tree, so |
| 12 |
portage is trying to upgrade to the modular xorg when you do an emerge |
| 13 |
world (if you look further down the list of packages that emerge world |
| 14 |
is trying to install, you should see xorg-x11-7.0). The dependencies |
| 15 |
pulled in by modular xorg have to be installed before xorg-x11 itself |
| 16 |
can be upgraded, but they are blocked by your currently installed, |
| 17 |
non-modular xorg-x11-6.8. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
There are two solutions: unmerge the non-modular xorg-x11-6.8, and |
| 20 |
then merge the modular xorg-x11-7.0 (following the migration guide on |
| 21 |
www.gentoo.org). But you seem to have already tried this. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The second solution is mask modular xorg by adding the line |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
>x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
to /etc/portage/package.mask (including the ">", obviously). Then |
| 28 |
portage won't try to upgrade xorg, it won't pull in all those |
| 29 |
dependencies that block on your version of xorg, and portage should |
| 30 |
stop complaining. |
