Okay, step by step. First I chose the basic make.profile, number 1, and 
installed my base system set - everything that doesn't need a GUI. Then I 
switched to the basic desktop profile, number 5 and ran a -uav @world. So far 
so good, but then I attempted to install a basic set of GUI packages - 
everything but a DE. The command was 'emerge -uav @xorg'. I got this:

There seems to be an inconsistency in the ruby packaging. Is there anything I 
can do to evade it? I've attached the package-set files I use when building a 
new system, for info.
