Dont "snip". The relevant part comes *after* the "blocks" lines. Also, you are mis-interpreting the "blocks" lines. The correct reading of "X (is blocking Y)" is that you have (or should have) X installed, and now portage wants to install Y instead. Usually this is because Y supercedes the functionality that used to be provided by X, and in almost all cases, the right thing to do is to unmerge X and merge Y. The exceptions on your system are pam-login/shadow, and seamonkey/mozilla. For some reason portage wants to install/keep both. This is where you need to look at the *full* --tree output to see what is trying to pull those packages in. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
