[gentoo-user] Can't complete emerge world.

[Mike Diehl]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get an emerge world to complet, but I'm getting this error 
message:


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

sys-libs/ss:0

  ('installed', '/', 'sys-libs/ss-1.40.6', 'nomerge') pulled in by
    ('installed', '/', 'sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.6', 'nomerge')
    @world

  ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-libs/ss-1.40.11', 'merge') pulled in by
    @world

sys-libs/com_err:0

  ('installed', '/', 'sys-libs/com_err-1.40.6', 'nomerge') pulled in by
    ('installed', '/', 'sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.6', 'nomerge')

  ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-libs/com_err-1.40.11', 'merge') pulled in by
    ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-libs/ss-1.40.11', 'merge')


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.
========================================

Can I simply emerge -C com_err and ss?

What do I need to do to get past this?

TIA,

I'm doing an:
emerge -u world

Ya, I kinda thought un-emerging those packages would kill my system.  Good 
thing I asked!

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Are you doing a emerge world or a emerge --update world? And no, you
can't emerge -C those 2 packages, it'll kill your system.

HTH.

Try this command, what gives you?

emerge -av =sys-libs/ss-1.40.9 =sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.9 
=sys-libs/com_err-1.40.9

Ciao
