Can you give us a concise timeline? (Like: Day 1 installed X. Day 3, changed keywords to ~amd64. Day 4, tried to install texlive.

If you just emerged it, it should be in the WORLD set, and should not be removed by depclean. Also, I thought the new depclean nowadays would refuse to run if there are unresolved conflicts? > I could also not find an accessible and up to date explanation of > installing texlive. Set the correct USE flags (use 'equery uses texlive' or 'emerge --pretend --verbose texlive' to see the complete list. Select the ones you want/need). For example, on my box I have set in '/etc/portage/package.use' the following app-text/texlive dvi2tty extra games graphics humanities jadetex music omega pdfannotextractor pstricks publishers science tex4ht xetex -xindy And then just 'emerge texlive' should do the trick. > Can any one guide me towards understanding how to proceed?

Backing out of ~ is sometimes a non-trivial task, especially if it involves downgrading system packages like glibc. When I had to do it in the past, I had the luxury of time and so I 1) keyworded ALL currently installed version to x86 (or in your case amd64) 2) changed the make.conf setting to x86 (amd64 in your case). This way portage won't force you to downgrade anything that is installed and working, and after a month or two the stable keyword should catch up or surpass the testing keyword and you'll have a stable system again.
