A normal update world turned up the error below
(~amd64, gnome profile)
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:
sys-apps/pciutils:0
(sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r1::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
>=sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r1[-compress-db] required by
(sys-fs/udev-171-r5::gentoo, installed)
(sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
(no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)
I certainly see where -r1 and -r2 would be a slot conflict but
1. The comment with -r1 says it needs >= -r1, so why would -r2 work?
2. The comment with -r2 seems to say -r2 is not really needed and -r1
would work.
The first one seems to say -r2 would be fine for everything; the second
that -r1 would be fine for everything. But clearly neither is fine for
everything since I have a slot conflict with both versions needed.
Could someone please explain this?
thanks,
allan
