[gentoo-user] Error when trying to emerge --update --deep --newuse world

Hey all,

I installed Gentoo 2006.1.

I ran either:

emerge-webrsync // because I can't rsync through my company's firewall

or

emerge --update --deep world ... it revealed that I need portage needed
updating ...

so I:

emerge portage ...

I also installed mysql, php, apache and mediawiki. Mediawiki required me to
set pcre mysql and session in my USE ... I only need to add mysql the other
2 were already there. After installing that software I wanted to update my
system, so I ran

emerge --update --deep --newuse world

... here's the info ...

Error: the sys-apps/coldplug package conflicts with another package;
         the two packages cannot be installed on the same system together.
         ...

I then did ...

emerge --pretend --update --deep --newuse world > output_file

followed by:

grep blocks output_file

[blocks B     ] sys-apps/coldplug (is blocking sys-fs/udev-103)

I can't emerge: sys-fs/udev-103 or udev-103 b/c that's not a valid package
atom ...

What do I need to do to resolve this?

This installation is for a VM that I'm preparing for use at work. Currently
I've got a standalone machine that this will be replacing ... that machine
is running 2006.0. I've not tried to update it yet, and wanted to wait until
I've migrated my mediawiki install from that 2006.0 machine to the new
machine.

Thanks,

Shawn

Hi,

Just update your kernel to the latest version, and that will probably 
pull udev in with it.

I don't know if you can just install udev, but the atom is called udev, 
not udev-103

Regards

Unmerge coldplug, it's no longer used.

No, but it is a valid package version. The problem is that you have
coldplug installed and coldplug's functionality is now provided by udev
in version 103.

emerge -C coldplug
emerge uavDN world

The correct way to specify a particular version is "=sys-fs/udev-103"
(or >= or <= or ~, etc).  "sys-fs/udev" is also fine, but putting the
version in the command requires one of those operators.  That's what
portage means when it complains about an invalid atom.
