[gentoo-user] Blockage problem

[Rafael Barrera Oro]

I tried to install Crossover-Office-Pro-Bin and i got the following 
blockage message:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[blocks B     ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking 
x11-libs/libXau-1.0.2, x11-libs/libXext-1.0.2, x11-libs/xtrans-1.0.2,

x11-libs/libXrandr-1.1.2, x11-libs/libXmu-1.0.2)

I had similar errors trying to emerge other packages, does this mean 
that my modular xorg installation is conflicting with everything, or is 
it all the way around and my monolithic xorg is causing trouble (i am 
still a novice interpreting portage error messages), or maybe xorg has 
not anything to do with it and i am missing something?

Does anyone know what i should do or had a similiar problem?

Thanks in advance!

Rafael

Hi,

That means that you have monolithic Xorg installed, which is now hard
masked, and that the packages you want to install want to install
components of modular Xorg (the two won't mix).  Sometimes you can avoid
the problem by removing one or more USE flags, but in the long run, the
better solution would be to go to modular Xorg, since it is the only one
supported now.

Regards,
Chris

Did you follow the upgrade guide[1] when switching to modular X ?
It is designed to solve dependency issues when switching, and it seems you are 
troubled by such an issue.

If you haven't followed the guide I suggest you do it now.
If you have, you should retrace your steps cause you might have skipped one.
