[gentoo-amd64] Multiple versions within a single package slot...

[Mark Knecht]

Hi all,
   Been awhile since I've posted. I've run into a problem on my AMD64
desktop machine as shown below. Since Gnome and cups are both a
requirement on my system I'm wondering how to handle this? I don't
know what gnome-vfs really does for me so maybe it can be taken out
via USE flags? Nor do I know what dbus does.

   What is the best way to go about solving this? Is it really to
start masking certain package revisions by hand? Are others having
this problem? I don't remember seeing any list traffic on it but maybe
I missed it.

Thanks,
Mark


lightning ~ # emerge -DuN world
Calculating world dependencies -
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

('ebuild', '/', 'sys-apps/dbus-0.62-r2', 'nomerge') pulled in by
  ('ebuild', '/', 'gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.16.3', 'nomerge')

('ebuild', '/', 'sys-apps/dbus-1.0.2', 'merge') pulled in by
  ('ebuild', '/', 'net-print/cups-1.2.6', 'nomerge')

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Yes, masking by hand is the best solution. The new portage versions do a
great job detecting problems, but they still need some hand-holding when
solving them.

This is bug #1343 [1]. You need to mask <sys-apps/dbus-0.90. gnome-vfs has an 
alternate provider it will pull in once <sys-apps/dbus-0.90 has been masked.
