I tried your list. It needed a few more. When I added them, a slot conflict again. If this is easy to explain and fix, please let me know; but this is not a do or die effort. thanks for everyone's help. allan !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: dev-libs/libxml2:2 (dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.2-r4:2/2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by dev-libs/libxml2:2[!icu?,abi_x86_32(-)?,abi_x86_64(-)?,abi_x86_x32(-)?,abi_mips_n32(-)?,abi_mips_n64(-)?,abi_mips_o32(-)?,abi_ppc_32(-)?,abi_ppc_64(-)?,abi_s390_32(-)?,abi_s390_64(-)?] required by (dev-qt/qtwebkit-4.8.6-r1:4/4::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) ^^^^^ >=dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.1-r4:2[abi_x86_32(-)?,abi_x86_64(-)?,abi_x86_x32(-)?,abi_mips_n32(-)?,abi_mips_n64(-)?,abi_mips_o32(-)?,abi_ppc_32(-)?,abi_ppc_64(-)?,abi_s390_32(-)?,abi_s390_64(-)?] required by (media-libs/gst-plugins-base-0.10.36-r2:0.10/0.10::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) >=dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.1-r4[abi_x86_32(-)?,abi_x86_64(-)?,abi_x86_x32(-)?,abi_mips_n32(-)?,abi_mips_n64(-)?,abi_mips_o32(-)?,abi_ppc_32(-)?,abi_ppc_64(-)?,abi_s390_32(-)?,abi_s390_64(-)?] required by (media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.36-r2:0.10/0.10::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.2-r4:2/2::gentoo, installed) pulled in by dev-libs/libxml2:=[icu] required by (www-client/chromium-48.0.2564.109:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^^^ dev-libs/libxml2:2/2=[icu] required by (www-client/chromium-48.0.2564.109:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^^^
