[gentoo-ppc-user] xfree dying on xorg block?

[Sean Sullivan]

Just got my iBook back from warranty repairs, and since I wiped the drive 
clean before sending it out I am reinstalling Gentoo with the 2004.1 disk. It 
is a stage 1 install, and went suprisingly smooth through bootstrap and 
system, but is giving me issues on xfree. I was going to install xorg, but 
pussed out at the last minute. I went w/out this thing for 10 days already, 
and didn't want any extra hassle configuring something I am not familiar 
with. I want my laptop back!!! :~)

I started it emerging before I went to work, and it looks like it completed 
some of it, then died like this:

!!! Error: the x11-base/xorg-x11 conflicts with another package.
	both can't be installed on the same system together.
	please use emerge --pretend to determine blockers.

# emerge -p xfree
[blocks B	  ] x11-base/xorg-x11 (from pkg x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5)
[ebuild   R    ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5

What is the deal here? I didn't ask for any xorg packages to be installed?

Thanks in advance,

Sean Sullivan

Just unmerge xfree, remerge xorg and remerge every app that complains 
about being linked to xfree instead of xorg (not sure there will be 
any).

Best regards,
