I am sure that this is all explained somewhere but I cannot find it easily.
When running "emerge -av gnome-light" I get : [blocks B ] <gnome-base/control-center-2.22 (is blocking gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon-2.22.1) [blocks B ] dev-util/gtk-doc-am (is blocking dev-util/gtk-doc-1.8-r2) I am not asking anyone to wade through my make.conf and various portage files but if someone who knows the system obviously better than I do could please point me in the direction of how to fix this issue I would be grateful. My requirements are "install gnome-light 2.22.0 or later".
