Hello there,

I'm having a curious problem trying to update my system.

I issue the command:

emerge --update @world -pv


Portage comes back with the following:

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

net-wireless/bluez:0

   (net-wireless/bluez-4.101-r9:0/0::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
       net-wireless/bluez:0/0= required by
(media-sound/pulseaudio-5.0-r7:0/0::gentoo, installed)
                                           ^^^^^

   (net-wireless/bluez-5.33:0/3::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
pulled in by
       >=net-wireless/bluez-5 required by
(net-misc/networkmanager-1.0.6:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
       ^^                                     ^                         
                                                                       
                                                                       
                                                                       
                                  


But I have the following line in my '/etc/portage/package.mask':

=net-misc/networkmanager-1.0.6:0/0::gentoo


So doesn't this tell portage not to upgrade to it?   Why does it still
schedule it for merge?


Thanks a lot,
Marat

Ah, I think I figured out what was the problem.  Looked down further in
the Portage output, and saw this:

The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by gnome-extra/nm-applet-1.0.6::gentoo
# required by net-misc/networkmanager-pptp-1.0.6::gentoo[gtk]
# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
# /etc/portage/package.mask:
# 2015-09-19--01
=net-misc/networkmanager-1.0.6
# required by net-misc/networkmanager-pptp-1.0.6::gentoo[gtk]
# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
# /etc/portage/package.mask:
# 2015-09-14--01
=gnome-extra/nm-applet-1.0.6
# required by net-misc/networkmanager-1.0.6::gentoo[bluetooth]
# required by gnome-extra/nm-applet-1.0.6::gentoo
# required by net-misc/networkmanager-pptp-1.0.6::gentoo[gtk]
# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
# /etc/portage/package.mask:
# 2015-06-22--01
=net-wireless/bluez-5.33


It appears that 'net-misc/networkmanager-1.0.6' was being pulled in by
'gnome-extra/nm-applet-1.0.6::gentoo',
'net-misc/networkmanager-pptp-1.0.6::gentoo[gtk]', and so on, and these
were just being reported further down below.

So I added them to '/etc/portage/package,mask' as well and the problem
went away.

I started to post that it looked like some other package was pulling it
in but portage's output is sometimes cryptic at best.  Sometimes I can
figure it out but usually, I have to get Alan or Neil to pull out their
magic decoder ring and uncrypt the thing. 

Anyway, glad you got it sorted out and all is well again.

Try adding "--autounmask-keep-masks y" to your emerge command line, to stop it 
suggesting that you unmask packages.

To figure out that "required by/pulled in by/installed" listing, you
have to think like a programmer. That whole listing is not so much
portage telling you what it will do, it's portage telling you how it got
to the point where there's a problem. Think of it like debugger output -
emerge runs, there's a problem and the dev asks for a memory dump of the
dep tree emerge has evaluated so far.

A little bit lower you find the helpful hint the some judicious
unmasking might get around it. But what's really missing is a clear
message about a mask.

Portage is often like a 10 year old telling you why they are upset. Lots
of tears and wailing, but no real description of /why/... :-)

Well, I did a debug dump thingy a couple times.  I couldn't figure that
out either.  I guess that explains it. 

Maybe one day someone will figure out a way to improve portage's cryptic
output.  I suspect that whoever does that may start with a full head of
hair but be bald when they get done.  Then they will change something
and they get to repeat that process all over again.  ROFL
