[gentoo-user] problem with upgrading Xorg from 6.8.2 up to 7.0

[gentoo-user] problem with upgrading Xorg from 6.8.2 up to 7.0

[Dmitry]

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrde Xorg from 6.8.2 up to 7.0 following this instruction http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Modular_Xorg
I unemerged Xoorg 6.8.2 and now trying to emerge 7.0.
emerge told me there are about 180 dependes must be installed, it installed about 40 of them and has failed at cairo emerging:


below is the tail:

Probably a circular dependancy somewhere.  Can you post the output
adding --tree --pretend to your emerge command?

Also, you should be able to work around the problem with "emerge
--oneshot x11-libs/libX11".

I'm not sure if it was the same error or not but I did get a error
during my upgrade.  I did a etc-update and then resumed without any more
trouble at all.  Well, there was some changes in power management but
nothing failed to compile.

hope that helps.
