It's not at all strange; it's quite ordinary actually. Keeping in mind that I do not use these packages, or gnome, look at the available blueman packages: # eix net-wireless/blueman * net-wireless/blueman Available versions: (~)2.0.3 (~)2.0.4 [M](~)2.1_alpha1 **9999 {appindicator network nls policykit pulseaudio thunar PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7 python3_4 python3_5 python3_6" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_4 python3_5 python3_6"} 2.1 is still in an alpha state, and it is p.masked: /var/portage/profiles/package.mask: # Michał Górny <mgo...@gentoo.org> (26 Jan 2017) # Pre-release, masked for testing. Major changes since 2.0.4, # including dropped support for BlueZ 4. It is not unreasonable to conclude that blueman-2.1 intends to add features that conflict with gnome-bluetooth and they can't co-exist. As Vadim said, file collisions are often the underlying cause. You unmasked an alpha package, clearly tagged as "for testing". Nothing add abut the result you got at all. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
