I'm trying to do emerge world -Duavt, and it keeps giving me the following:

Code:
[blocks B     ] <x11-libs/cairo-0.2 (is blocking x11-libs/cairo-1.0.2)


I've searched the forums and have tried all the suggestions that seemed reasonable - re-emerged libxslt, m4, automake, added cairo to portage.keywords, and tried to emerge -C cairo. Nothing worked. Even more interesting is that when I do the emerge -C I get the following:
Code:
emerge -C x11-libs/cairo-0.2

--- Couldn't find x11-libs/cairo-0.2 to unmerge.

>>> unmerge: No packages selected for removal.


So, apparently I have a phantom package blocking an upgrade of itself. I have done revdep-rebuild a few times recently, with no change to this.

Any tips how to fix this?

The message says you have a version lower than 0.2 installed, thus
Code:
emerge -aC <x11-libs/cairo-0.2

I had the same problem. sean345 helped me with it in this thread.

Try this:
Code:
echo "x11-libs/cairo X png" >> /etc/portage/package.use


Then emerge cairo:
Code:
emerge --oneshot x11-libs/cairo

No that's a different problem.

And as this is a dup of Cairo 0.2 blocking 1.0.2 from compiling, moved from Portage & Programming to Duplicate Threads.
