Just because they are conflicting now doesn't mean that there was conflicting packages before. Upgrades do happen, and things do change ;) Every time you sync and get a new ebuild, you are generally getting a new version of the package (assuming there is a new version available). - -- Jeremy Olexa ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Office: EE/CS 1-201 CS/IT Systems Staff University of Minnesota -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEZIqmFN7pD9kMi/URAkfTAJ4vYtxZTPGTYufzQyWJaog5dk+zBwCfVtPQ WitkwasBfNu1qMKQTpTsXQc= =UqNp -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Because you are upgrading the packages. The versions you currently have installed are not blockers, but the new versions are different. > How are you doing your updates?

That's not necessarily true, depending on the command used to update world. "emerge world" only updates any packages in world and any forced dependency updates. "emerge --update world" also considers first level dependencies and updates those, even if the existing version satisfies the world packages' dependencies. As you say, "emerge --deep --update world" goes right down the tree. The only packages --deep misses are those that are not in world and not dependencies of world, i.e. non-dependent packages emerged with --oneshot. -- Neil Bothwick Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable signature.asc Description: PGP signature

This usually happens because the functionality the package provides is now handled by something else that emerge world needs to bring it. This is certainly the case with udev now handling coldplug's job. -- Neil Bothwick Windows Error #01: No error... ...yet. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Generally, you should just unmerge the blocking packages (emerge -C). Rasmus -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Remove the packages that are blocking. emerge -C coldplug pam-login ant-tasks Then emerge world again. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
