Re: [gentoo-user] Trouble with portage
You have several issues here. First of all, a tip: If a portage upgrade is available, do emerge portage first. New versions of portage often have new or improved features - in this case portage 2.1.6 includes, among other things, the ability to automatically handle most blockers. The blocker says that gamin 1.10 is blocking the gamin-server 1.10 package. This looks to me like gamin has been split into multiple parts or renamed. portage 2.1.6 should handle this block automatically. On to your next issue where 2 versions of firefox are being pulled in. First of all you need to remove the package.mask entry you added, since it masked out all versions of firefox above 2.0.0 - that includes both firefox 2 and firefox 3 - not particularly useful. The correct resolution here is not obvious. You need to edit your /etc/make.conf and set -firefox xulrunner.

New versions of portage often have new or improved features - in this case portage 2.1.6 includes, among other things, the ability to automatically handle most blockers. Though even the portage2.2 pre-releases do not handle all the cases that should be able to be handled automatically. An example is one which encountered yesterday - foo-x-y-z was already installed and foo-x-y+1-0 was available for update. There are already installed packages which have (R)DEPEND==foo-x.y* and others with (R)DEPEND==foo-x.0.0. So the already installed foo-x.y.z satisfies all the depends, but the new foo-x.y+1.0 does not. Yet 'emerge -auDv world' flagged a conflict of trying to install two versions of an unslotted package - when the 'obvious' resolution would be keep the already installed version and not upgrade rather than requiring the user to manually mask the new version. Not only is this less work for the user, but it would also allow the automatic upgrade if and when the packages with the specific dependency on the lower version were changed to allow the newer one without the user having to track the blocking ebuilds to see when the (R)DEPENDs change and then manually remove the mask.
