Howdy,
Just installed the base system and xserver. As I went to emerge
xfce4 as
shown here http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xfce
emerge --ask xfce4-meta xfce4-notifyd, I got a slot conflict:
sys-ath/pambase-20101024-r2::gentoo, installed
sys-auth/pambase-20120417-r2::gentoo, scheduled for merge.
How do I resolve this conflict please?
That looks like partial output, there's information missing that says
why the conflict is happening. Please post the output of (run as root):
emerge -pv pambase
http://bpaste.net/show/114541/
emerge --info
http://bpaste.net/show/114540/
Please don't use pastebins here, they go away.
Post inline into the body of the mail.
Sorry about that. I wasn't aware of the policy.
I haven't installed a mail client yet. Just installed twm and xterm.
Is there any other way I can sent the info required to the mailing list?
Thanks.
Don't worry about it. It's not really a policy as such; it's more like
the way things have always been done. This list is a treasure trove of
useful postings that the rest of the internet finds useful for years to
come, so the regulars have come to expect pasted output to be inline.
Here's your emerge pambase output:

I suspect your original error was actually a conflict between shadow and
pambase and you probably snipped that part in error.
Try this first:
emerge -av1 shadow
it should upgrade shadow to 4.1.5.1-r1 just fine. Then:
emerge --sync
emerge -avuND world
and then emerge xfce (the original command).
If emerging shadow by itself gives an error, then just go onto sync and
emerging world, these days portage knows how to figure it's way round
all the conflicts (it wasn't always like that....)
Thanks heaps.
I'll give that a whirl tomorrow and let you know how it went.
