emerge world problem
Hi everyone,
When I try to update my system with emerge -uD world (if I am using the wrong command, what command should I be using to update?), I get this error:
I added the pretend to show what was wrong at the first line. How do I get around this block of xorg? By the way, I am using VidaLinux, so if there is anything that is really Gentoo specific, I will try it but I am not sure if it will work (although it should because it is Gentoo based).Code:root@localhost bryan # emerge -uD world Calculating world dependencies ...done! !!! Error: the <x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 package conflicts with another package. !!! both can't be installed on the same system together. !!! Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers. root@localhost bryan # emerge --pretend world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

try this if you are just trying to update your system. Because the error message it looks as if portage is actually trying to install a package in which Xorg is a blocker.
emerge --update --deep world (make sure you are root)
I would read the relevant sections on portage from this page:

Hi,
Thanks for the help but I have decided to switch back to Suse for now for a couple of reasons. Thanks for the help anyway.

I've found a solution to this
You need to first emerge x.org without checking dependencies like so
Now you can emerge world and the block is gone. Otherwise I think you will never get past the fact that emerging xorg-x11 is dependent on a package that is blocked by your current x.org version.Code:emerge --nodeps xorg-x11

Thanks for the reply. I think I may want to try a Gentoo based system later on and it will be helpful to know this for later.
