[gentoo-user] gvim emerge problems

["Stuart Howard" <stuart.g.howard@gmail.com>]

Good morning all

I am getting this following message when attempting to update world,
since there has been no traffic on here I guess the issue is specific
to my setup.
I imagine that the solution would be to -aC gvim then re-emerge but I
would appreciate some guidance before I do that as to be without vim
would be ....
This same issue happened last week but the solution was to bring
vim-core into ~* this week I have no where to go with that.
I imagine that I could also follow the instruction given in the output
but it seem strange that that would be required to achevie a simple
update, if I am slotted or have multiple installs it is not by design
so I would prefer to revert to a simple install.
Any help gratefully accepted

Cheers

genstu stuart # emerge -aDuvN world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies |
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

('ebuild', '/', 'app-editors/vim-core-7.0.201', 'merge') pulled in by
  ('ebuild', '/', 'app-editors/gvim-7.0.201', 'merge')

('ebuild', '/', 'app-editors/vim-core-7.0.174', 'nomerge') pulled in by
  ('ebuild', '/', 'app-editors/vim-7.0.174', 'nomerge')

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
