Hello, I had the same error. Quoting from http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2007q3/000259.html : "GnuPG-2 has a different architecture than GnuPG-1 (e.g. 1.4.6) in that it splits up functionality into several modules. However, both versions may be installed alongside without any conflict. In fact, the gpg version from GnuPG-1 is able to make use of the gpg-agent as included in GnuPG-2 and allows for seamless passphrase caching. The advantage of GnuPG-1 is its smaller size and the lack of dependency on other modules at run and build time. We will keep maintaining GnuPG-1 versions because they are very useful for small systems and for server based applications requiring only OpenPGP support."
You may also wish to look at this thread : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4055706.html The choice is yours between both versions. IMO, it's a good thing portage blocks so you know that you were about to install two software to do the same thing. However, the reason for portage to block it may be different, i don't know (btw, does someone knows where to look at "why is portage doing blocks for my software ?")
