I understand this to mean that some package depends upon
fluxbox-0.1.14-r1 so it wants to install it in another slot? However, after it does this, when I run fluxbox, it actually runs 0.1.14 and not the new 0.9.3 version. How do I make this work correctly?
Actually, fluxbox is not slotted. You are replacing 0.9.3 with 0.1.14. The reason being that portage recognizes that fluxbox is merged, and that 0.9.3 is the current version.
however, in package.mask, there is this block:
# <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (22 Apr 2003) # new fluxbox dev series. no guarentees.
=x11-wm/fluxbox-0.9.0
Portage recognizes that fluxbox ebuilds > 0.9.0 are masked, and tries to install the highest unmasked version, which is 0.1.14-r1.
I'd suggest using the -U option instead of -u, as it will not downgrade packages.
