slot conflict on update [Solved]

Postby yazemu » Fri Oct 23, 2009 10:00

I'm trying to update all of my packages with portage. I typed in this command
Code: Select all
# emerge -av --update --deep --newuse world


And I get this error

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

app-crypt/mit-krb5:0

  ('ebuild', '/', 'app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.6.3-r6', 'merge') pulled in by
    >=app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.3.6-r1[krb4] required by ('ebuild', '/', 'net-im/pidgin-2.6.3', 'merge')
    (and 8 more)

  ('ebuild', '/', 'app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.7-r1', 'merge') pulled in by
    app-crypt/mit-krb5 required by ('ebuild', '/', 'net-misc/openssh-5.3_p1-r1', 'merge')
    app-crypt/mit-krb5 required by ('installed', '/', 'net-misc/curl-7.19.6', 'nomerge')
    app-crypt/mit-krb5 required by ('ebuild', '/', 'gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.24.2', 'merge')
    (and 5 more)


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.


Any Idea on how to fix it? I've already tried masking one of the packages but it still didn't work.

nevermind, I think I deleted something I shouldn't have.. I ended up formatting and was able to work through the portage issues on my own, thanks :)
