Can I get away with just waiting for a while? emerge -aDvut will show the dependency tree which should tell you which package requires virtual/x11-7.0-r2. Once you have narrowed down which package requires it to be installed you can deal with it from there. Instead of going unstable with your entire system you can add the offending package to /etc/portage/package.keywords for instance. If it's a package you know you don't need you could also remove it.

I have a few remaining puzzles and problems.  Here's one:

When I do emerge -aDvu world, it wants to emerge
[ebuild  N    ] virtual/x11- 7.0-r2  USE="dri" 0 kB

The migration guide says this can happen when there's an outdated package.
But equery says there are well over 100 such packages that depend on
virtual/x11.  And they're all up to date.  I've been running stable so far, with
very few exceptions.  Am I really to go unstable with all of these?  This seems
extreme in view of the fact that a great many of them are KDE things, but
KDE seems to be working just fine.

What's a guy to do?  Can I get away with just waiting for a while?


emerge -aDvut will show the dependency tree which should tell you which package requires virtual/x11-7.0-r2.  Once you have narrowed down which package requires it to be installed you can deal with it from there.  Instead of going unstable with your entire system you can add the offending package to /etc/portage/package.keywords for instance.  If it's a package you know you don't need you could also remove it.  HTH
