I just finished a base install of Gentoo and instead of emerging xfree like usual, I wanted to install xorg. When I emerge I'm getting:
Code:
root@asgard riyak # emerge xorg-x11
Calculating dependencies ...done!

!!! Error: the virtual/x11 package conflicts with another package.
!!!        both can't be installed on the same system together.
!!!        Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.

When I use --pretend I get:
Code:
root@asgard riyak # emerge -p xorg-x11

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] x11-base/xfree ("virtual/x11" from pkg x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1)
[blocks B     ] x11-base/xfree (from pkg x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1)
[blocks B     ] x11-base/xfree ("virtual/xft" from pkg x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1)
[ebuild  N    ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1
[ebuild  N    ] app-arch/rpm2targz-9.0-r2
[ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/utempter-0.5.5.5
[ebuild  N    ] x11-terms/xterm-191

What do I need to change to unblock xorg?

Code:
emerge -C xfree


This will uninstall XFree, then you should be able to emerge xorg-x11.

That worked but I find that strange. I didn't emerge xfree at all. I guess it was a dependancy to something then. Thanks for your help.
