Well, I'm delighted to have your help, because I get this all the time
and don't really know how to handle it:


# vim: syntax=emerge-out

Sorry, try again.

  * IMPORTANT: 2 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies   * See the CONFIGURATION FILES and
CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS
  * sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files.

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. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.

page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
