The reason for this is a fixed portage bug that allowed you to install xft together with xfree 4.3.0-r2 (which contains xft), so that the xft libs from xfree got overwritten, similar for other packages. To avoid the recompilation use quickpkg (in /usr/lib/portage/bin) to build binary packages of the blocking and the blocked packages before unmerging anything (and put FEATURES=buildpkg in /etc/make.conf to make this default for future emerge runs). Then instead of re-compiling xfree you can use the binary with "emerge -K xfree". Marius -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'd like to avoid recompiling XFree in every way possible. Is there any better way to get rid of the blocking? Why does it occur anyway? Jan pgp0.pgp Description: signature

I read more and more scenarios like this all the time. What leads to this crappy situation? What can others do to avoid it? It's bad enough for xfree (maybe three hours), but God forbid there should be a package blocked by OpenOffice (10+ hours) that needs this treatment! -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] xft blocking qt?
I just tried it again, and with emerge -up xft, it didn't block. I'm emerging it in now.

I had the same question myself. I tried to install xft, with just emerge -p x11-libs/xft and it was blocked by xfree.
