I was hoping that this was a dev boo-boo and would work itself out in
time, but it's been several days and it hasn't, so the problem must be
on my end. See the following listing:
Calculating dependencies ...... . ....... done!
[ebuild N ] sys-power/powermgmt-base-1.22
[ebuild U ] media-libs/libmikmod-3.2.0_beta2-r1 [3.1.11-r5]
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/apmd-3.2.2_p5 USE="X nls"
[ebuild N ] sys-power/pm-utils-1.2.5 USE="alsa -debug
-networkmanager -ntp" VIDEO_CARDS="-intel -radeon"
[blocks B ] sys-power/powermgmt-base ("sys-power/powermgmt-base" is
blocking sys-power/pm-utils-1.2.5)
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be

('ebuild', '/', 'sys-power/powermgmt-base-1.22', 'merge') pulled in by
>=sys-power/powermgmt-base-1.22 required by ('ebuild', '/',
'sys-apps/apmd-3.2.2_p5', 'merge')

sys-power/pm-utils required by ('installed', '/',

As you can see powermgmt-base is on the emerge list, as is pm-utils. I
installed kde-meta because my mother-in-law is visiting and she likes
kpatience and it didn't work anymore with kde-3.5. Now, how do I
resolve this block?
