[gentoo-user] package conflict on update

[Trenton Adams]

Ok, so I get the output below when trying to merge after a sync today.
 My guess is that the openmotif package was made into two separate
packages, correct?

To the portage developers, how could this be handled?  Perhaps emerge
could somehow figure out the reason for such a conflict, and then
automatically unmerge the original package?

The fix for this was to "emerge --unmerge openmotif", and then
re-emerge it.  Then I was finally able to do a system update.  Do you
want this reported as a bug, or is it already?


[00:16 root@joseph data] # emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse
--buildpkg world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
