Hi, im trying install XFCE in my new gentoo, but when i do merge, i get this:

sys-fs/eudev is blocking sys-apps/gentoo-systemd-integration-6
sys-apps/gentoo/systemd-integration is blocking sys-fs/eudev
sys-apps/systemd is blocking sys-fs/eudev
sys-fs/eudev is blocking sys-apps/systemd

I have installed eudev but NOT systemd, what happend?

Thanks.

Without full output this is hard to say. There is a handy tool called wgetpaste that allows you to pastebin a file or command output and then post a url to the forum. I would recommend installing it. Unsuprisingly, it is used by wgetpaste <file> or by invoking a command and piping the output as <command> | wgetpaste obviously, the command must not be interactive.

However, your immediate issue is that portage isn't sure what to do with all the options for a /dev manager and is confused. You can easily solve this by using /etc/portage/package.mask and adding sys-apps/systemd and sys-fs/udev as entries, one per line. That is how you tell portage that you consider these packages bad and that it should never use them.

The real question is what whats gentoo-systemd-integration-6. Seeing the full output may be helpful.
