The normal way to fix a block is to unmerge the blocking package (in
this case openmotif), then run the emerge again.
motif-config apparently replaces openmotif (from www.gentoo-portage.com)
Runtime Dependencies
motif-config-0.9
app-shells/bash
! x11-libs/lesstif - 0.94.0*
! x11-libs/lesstif - 0.93.97
! x11-libs/lesstif - 0.93.94-r4
! x11-libs/openmotif - 2.2.3-r6
! x11-libs/openmotif - 2.2.3-r5
! x11-libs/openmotif - 2.2.3-r4
! x11-libs/openmotif - 2.2.3-r3
! x11-libs/openmotif - 2.2.3-r2
! x11-libs/openmotif - 2.2.3-r1
! x11-libs/openmotif - 2.2.3
! x11-libs/openmotif - 2.2.2*
! x11-libs/openmotif - 2.1.30-r13
unlike the previous versions which only depended on bash, this version
demands that openmotif not be present on the system.
As Ryan said, the procedure is to unmerge openmotif and then run the
emerge again to install motif-config, but I myself would investigate
before doing this whether or not I wanted or needed motif-config at all,
and whether it would support the needs I had up to this point used
openmotif for.
A block can also be solved by not requesting one of the packages at all,
because it turns out to be unnecessary.
