You cannot have both those packages at the same time.
From the pm-utils ebuild:
$ cat pm-utils/pm-utils-1.2.5.ebuild
[snip]
RDEPEND=">=sys-apps/hal-0.5.10
>=sys-apps/dbus-1.0.0
!sys-power/powermgmt-base
You need to get rid of powermgmt-base somehow or not use pm-utils. The depends
list for pm-utils is:
$ equery depends pm-utils
* Searching for pm-utils ...
kde-base/powerdevil-4.3.4 (pm-utils ? sys-power/pm-utils)
net-misc/wicd-1.6.2.2 (pm-utils ? >=sys-power/pm-utils-1.1.1)
sys-apps/hal-0.5.14 (laptop ? >=sys-power/pm-utils-0.99.3)
a...@nazgul ~/downloads/iso/gentoo $ eix powermgmt-base
So I assume you have KDE4 installed.
What package do you have that wants powermgmt-base? (emerge -t helps find
this)
