bluez and bluez-libs are mutally blocking. emerge -avC bluez-libs emerge -av bluez The message about gcfs is simply the dependency tree so you can see what causes bluez to be installed/retained, it's not the actual blocker. IIRC gvfs can use bluez-4. Check the gvfs ebuild to make sure. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
