Re: [tlug] Installing Gentoo - blocked packages

["Stuart Bouyer" <stubouyer@example.com>]

Mark,

Do by chance have ~x86 (or whatever CPU) set?

I've had this happen when a new version is released as ~, but the
other deps are still in stable versions.

Usually backing one of the versions back to a early version will allow
you to over come the block, or if that doesn't work wait 12-24 hours
and resync. It will usually be fixed by then.

Cheers

Stuart
