Fine. At the end it says Total: 93 packages (87 upgrades, 4 new, 2 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 223,796 kB Conflict: 3 blocks Portage tree and overlays: [0] /usr/portage [?] indicates that the source repository could not be determined Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] Since it offers to merge and there are no B's in the list, I assume this version of portage resolved the blockage. However, there are nearly a hundred packages and some of them are important so I would like to confirm that it is OK to let portage merge these. thanks, allan
