Hello list,

While wrestling with my owncloud problem I decided to re-install the server 
box from scratch. It's a little Atom box so I keep a 32-bit chroot on this 
machine (the one I'm writing this on), nfs-mount the server's packages 
directory in the chroot and do all the heavy emerge work on the i5 here. The 
contents of /etc/portage/* are identical in both systems, with minor 
exceptions detailing --jobs= and the proxies (the server serves the portage 
tree and is the rsync host, and it can't do that for itself until http-
replicator etc. are in place).

I got as far as installing a recent stage 3 and adding nfs-utils so that I 
could export the package directory. Then I ran emerge -eavK world (I'd already 
rebuilt all the packages in the chroot before zapping the server). You'll 
never guess what happened. Well, actually, I hope someone can because I'm 
stumped again.

$ OPTIONS="backtrack=100" emerge -pvKe world
...
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "app-arch/bzip2" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- app-arch/bzip2-1.0.6-r3::gentoo (masked by: backtracking: slot conflict)

Bzip2 installs happily if specified by itself. Portage is at version 2.2.7, and 
I did remember to set the active python version to 2.7 before starting all 
this.

Now that I think of it, this slot conflict over bzip2 was among the reasons I 
decided to zap the server and start anew. The cure hasn't fixed the ailment.

Has anyone any ideas?

Peter
