I didn't post the whole thing but the part about the Blocks with a
capital B. I have unmerged both lzma-utils and xz-utils but I still get
this error. How can they block it when they are not installed yet? I'm
missing something here. I just don't see it.
I found a thread on the forums and did what it said but I still get
this. It said to unmerge xz-utils which I did. Then I unmerged
lzma-utils for good measure.
Someone tell me the trick to this? Thanks.
Dale
I had a similar problem since I wanted to use the -J option of tar
(telling it to use the xz compressor)
Someone replied to my bug report that once app-arch/xz-utils becomes
stable it will replace lzma-utils. But I needed both now.
So, I installed app-arch/xz-utils outside of portage with the
prefix /usr/local. Then I told portage about it by
echo app-arch/xz-utils- /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
That works.

xz-utils replaces lzma-utils, so you can't have them both installed at
once. Maybe try unmerging and re-emerging the packages that say they
depend on lzma-utils, they've probably been updated to use xz-utils
instead by now.

I think I tried that. I ran this command with both blockers unmerged:
emerge -1v rpm2targz gpm mpfr eix libarchive
Thing is, it pulled both the blockers back in again. I also tried
removing those two blockers and just doing the HUGE update, it still
gripes about the block.
I synced last night. Could it be that I need to sync again? Maybe
something was in the process of changing when I synced?
Thanks.

The solution is in the ebuilds (as always): eix 0.17.0 still depends on lzma- utils, while 0.17.1 has been switched to xz-utils. The same is true for libarchive, you need a later version. HTH... Dirk

You need at least eix-0.17.1 and libarchive-2.7.1. Older versions depend
on lzma-utils instead of xz-utils, thus the blocker.

You are both right. I tried installing a later version on the blockers
but not the packages that depended on them. So, I added the following

=app-portage/eix-0.18.3
