First, unmask portage. The maintainer masked the 2.2_rc versions so that 2.1.6* could get more testing. portage-2.2 can automatically resolve those blockers so you don't have to. All those packages you mention are libs. You should never have to merge them manually, you should never have them in world - that's just asking for trouble. Remove them from world if they are there. Tip: When you need support with blockers, always post the relevant emerge output and don't try to guess. This usually gets you an answer. Not posting the output gets you ignored, or a request to post the output. Either way, you should just post the output. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
