[gentoo-user] slot conflict on consolkit -- how to resolve?

[covici]

I am trying to upgrade to the gnome overlay and I get the following slot
conflict:

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been
    pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

sys-auth/consolekit:0

  ('installed', '/', 'sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.1', 'nomerge') pulled in
  by
    sys-auth/consolekit[-policykit] required by ('installed', '/',
  'sys-apps/hal-0.5.13-r2', 'nomerge')
    (and 5 more)

  ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.1', 'merge') pulled in by
    sys-auth/consolekit[policykit] required by ('ebuild', '/',
    'gnome-base/gdm-2.28.0', 'merge')
    (and 5 more)
 
Any way to resolve this so I can get the gnome 2.28 overlay to come in?
I know I am on the bleeding edge here!

Thanks much.

Check your use flags.  hal (base portage) wants consolkit *without* the
policykit USE flag because it was installed with -policykit.

gdm (overlay) is apparently being installed with the consolekit USE flag
and so it requires consolekit *with* the policykit USE flag.

OK, that did it, thanks very much -- just goes to show  you know less
than you think you know.
