Hey guys, The gentoo is a fresh install from the LiveCd 2007.0 I've been following the wiki sequentially so far and I'm at the point where I have the install the perl modules. The following step is where the error occurs: _________________________________________________ localhost ~ # emerge aspell-en Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! Error: the =app-dicts/aspell-en-0.5* package conflicts with another package; !!! the two packages cannot be installed on the same system together. !!! Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers. For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant): http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#blocked ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Then I decided to see what the bloackage was: _____________________________________________________ localhost ~ # emerge --pretend aspell-en These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] app-dicts/aspell-en-6.0.0 [0.51.1] [ebuild U ] app-text/aspell-0.60.5 [0.50.5-r4] USE="nls%* -examples%" [blocks B ] =app-dicts/aspell-en-0.5* (is blocking app-text/aspell-0.60.5) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do I need to handle this problem now or can I skip it for the time being? If I can continue my installation, can I randomly install the remaining components or does it have to be done sequentially? Are spidermonkey and opensrf dependent on the perl modules ? Thanks.

For example, a different version of Syslog shouldn't cause a problem, whereas a conflict with a perl module would.
