I have run emerge -e system several times. Some other problems were cleared up, and this avahi--mDNSResponder/mdnsresponder-compat whatever it all is, just keeps coming back even when solved by some skullduggery. I've removed both of them at one time or another. [blocks B ] net-dns/avahi ("net-dns/avahi" is blocking net-misc/mDNSResponder-107.6-r5) [blocks B ] net-misc/mDNSResponder ("net-misc/mDNSResponder" is blocking net-dns/avahi-0.6.23) I guess the problem is that I am running gnome and also have two or three different versions/slots of kde installed. I suppose, then, it's remarkable that only these blocks are showing up? Can someone lend a hand on this? Anything I do is little more than blind tinkering.
