Hello all,
Trying to "emerge -upv world" on my laptop I got the following message:

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

Calculating world dependencies  .....done!
[blocks B     ] <net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0-r3 (from pkg 
media-libs/freetype-2.1.9-r1)
[blocks B     ] <media-libs/libwmf-0.2.8.2 (from pkg 
media-libs/freetype-2.1.9-r1)
[blocks B     ] <x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 (from pkg 
x11-base/opengl-update-2.1_pre4)
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/tiff-3.7.1-r1 [3.7.0] 1,224 kB 

[...]"

I was surprised but after some searching I decided to obey portage's
orders; unmerged the blocking packages, only firefox was not re-emerged by
the  "emerge -u world" command. After updating I try to emerge firefox
again, no blocking is announced but the compilation fails after entering 
directory:
/usr/tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-1.0/work/mozilla/gfx/src/freetype:
there are lots of errors then from nsFreeType.h or nsFreeType.cpp

This is on my laptop. I was believing in the first place that my setup was
perhaps wrong on this very machine, so I asked for a "emerge -u world" on
my PC, saw the same blocking from firebird and xorg-x11.
I am a little bit lost.
Any hint about this will be greatly appreciated!
