I know! I know! 2.0.5 isn't supposed to have this problem. Let me
explain, I've got a brand new install of 2007.0, a fresh copy of
portage, and this as my spec file:

subarch: amd64
version_stamp: 2008.taco
target: livecd-stage1
rel_type: default
profile: default-linux/amd64/2007.0
snapshot: snapshot
source_subpath: stage3-amd64-2007.0
livecd/use:
        -X
        -gtk
        -gtk2
        -kde
        -arts
        -alsa
        -avi
        -cdr
        -cups
        -esd
        gphoto2
        acpi
        -dvd
        -dvdr
        -emacs
        -ethereal
        f77
        -fbcon
        -ginac
        -odbc
        -plotutils
        -ppds
        -samba
        -sse
        usb
        -wmf
        -xml
        -xosd
        -gnome
        -opengl
        -oss
        -sdl
        -spell
        -truetype

livecd/packages:
        baselayout
        module-init-tools
        hotplug
        syslog-ng
        pciutils
        strace
        nfs-utils
        usbutils
        e2fsprogs
        reiserfsprogs
        nano
        less
        openssh
        dhcpcd
        mingetty
        screen
        iputils
        tcptraceroute
        ethtool
        libusb
        grub
        gentoolkit


But when I run catalyst -a -v -f testmini.spec (said specfile from
above), catalyst crashes out and gives me:


[blocks B     ] sys-apps/setarch (is blocking sys-apps/util-linux-2.13-r2)

Total: 38 packages (11 upgrades, 27 new, 1 block), Size of downloads: 15,885 kB

!!! Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be installed
!!!        at the same time on the same system.

For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following
section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant):

!!! catalyst: Error in attempt to build packages

!!! catalyst: Error encountered during run of target livecd-stage1

Catalyst aborting....
lockfile does not exist
'/var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage1-amd64-2008.taco/.catalyst_lock'

I've read in numerous places how to fix this if its breaking portage
on a live system, they say to just unmerge setarch, so I went ahead
and did that, but it still hates me.

Does anyone have any tips? Any help would be most appreciated!

Thanks!
