emerge --update world fails with a blocked package error

[Jeff91]

Just did a fresh install of Sabayon 4.2 64bit Gnome and I am trying to do the first system update using emerge (check my other post as to why I am not using equo) When I run the update command I get the following message about a blocked package

Code: Select all

[blocks B     ] app-admin/eselect-news ("app-admin/eselect-news" is blocking app-admin/eselect-1.2_rc1)

 * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
 * installed at the same time on the same system.

  ('ebuild', '/', 'app-admin/eselect-1.2_rc1', 'merge') pulled in by
    >=app-admin/eselect-1.0.10 required by ('ebuild', '/', 'app-admin/eselect-ctags-1.10', 'merge')
    >=app-admin/eselect-1.0.10 required by ('ebuild', '/', 'app-admin/eselect-emacs-1.10', 'merge')
    >=app-admin/eselect-1.0.6 required by ('ebuild', '/', 'app-admin/eselect-vi-1.1.6', 'merge')
    (and 4 more)

  ('installed', '/', 'app-admin/eselect-news-20080320', 'nomerge') pulled in by
    app-admin/eselect-news:0 required by @world


For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following
section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant):

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#blocked


I read through the gentoo handbook link provided but I am not quiet sure which package I need to uninstall (or even how to do that) to get the update to work

Any help would be wonderful,

Code: Select all

emerge -C app-admin/eselect-news

[Jeff91]

Alrighty, so I got the update to start running at least. After the first five files it stops at the busybox module with the following error in console:

Code: Select all

sager-lintop busybox # emerge --update world

I Googled the error and got a hit on bugs.gentoo.org - http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=197492 - Bug I couldn't find any solution for it :/ Anyone know if there is a way to fix this or if I can just have it install all the other updates besides this one for now?

~Jeff

EDIT: Did some more Googling and I found my own answer on the bug report - http://bugs.gentoo.org/277382 emerging the latest linux-headers solves the issue.
