I think you mean equery depends, not emerge. It is broken on my ~amd64 system, but a ~x86 system shows himerge. I demerged himerge and now it comes down to this: !!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: x11-proto/printproto:0 ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-proto/printproto-1.0.3', 'merge') pulled in by @world ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2', 'merge') ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-proto/printproto-1.0.4', 'merge') pulled in by @world ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/libXprintUtil-1.0.1', 'merge') ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-apps/xdpyinfo-1.0.3', 'merge') (and 7 more) I proably wouldn't miss xdpyinfo much, but other packages depend on it and I've been down that road of cascading demerges before. I am not going to demerge xorg-server. I am not sure where to go from here. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.
