Hi. I am having problems with my current world update of an unstable
gentoo system. Before I paste the output, I need to tell you that I
need to have perl compiled with threads enabled because its a
requirement of freeswitch -- my current pbx. Also, I want to stay with
Firefox 3 and up to now, portage has just skipped the xulrunner update,
I am not sure why its changed its mind. Also, what can I do about the
gst plugin -- I don't understand what it is trying to tell me here.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Here is the output of my latest attempt to update world:
Calculating dependencies ... . ... done!
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been

(and 10 more with the same problems)
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.
emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
"dev-lang/perl[-ithreads]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-lang/perl-5.12.4 (Change USE: -ithreads)
(dependency required by "www-apache/mod_perl-2.0.5[-threads]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "@selected" [set])
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])
