xz-utils replaces lzma-utils, so you can't have them both installed at
once. Maybe try unmerging and re-emerging the packages that say they
depend on lzma-utils, they've probably been updated to use xz-utils
instead by now.

One package is pulling in lzma-utils, another wants xz-utils.

emerge --oneshot xz-utils (which replaces lzma-utils) should fix this.

I didn't post the whole thing but the part about the Blocks with a capital
B. I have unmerged both lzma-utils and xz-utils but I still get this error.
How can they block it when they are not installed yet? I'm missing
something here. I just don't see it.
I found a thread on the forums and did what it said but I still get this.
It said to unmerge xz-utils which I did. Then I unmerged lzma-utils for

Someone tell me the trick to this? Thanks.

I think I tried that. I ran this command with both blockers unmerged:

emerge -1v rpm2targz gpm mpfr eix libarchive

Thing is, it pulled both the blockers back in again. I also tried
removing those two blockers and just doing the HUGE update, it still
gripes about the block.


I synced last night. Could it be that I need to sync again? Maybe
something was in the process of changing when I synced?


Thanks.

I have tried a few things but just to make sure, I tried this just to be
sure. I unmerged both blockers and emerged xz-utils again, same block
as before.


Ideas?

The solution is in the ebuilds (as always): eix 0.17.0 still depends on lzma-
utils, while 0.17.1 has been switched to xz-utils. The same is true for
libarchive, you need a later version.

HTH...

You need at least eix-0.17.1 and libarchive-2.7.1. Older versions depend
on lzma-utils instead of xz-utils, thus the blocker.

You are both right. I tried installing a later version on the blockers
but not the packages that depended on them. So, I added the following
to my package.keyword and package.unmask files:


=app-portage/eix-0.18.3
=app-arch/libarchive-2.7.1

Portage is now happy. Every time I think I have figured out portage and
these blocker messages, I get thrown a curve ball. lol


Thanks much for catching that curve ball.

Ah, the fun of running a mixed arch/~arch system

BTW ~ is usually better than = in this situation.

I had a similar problem since I wanted to use the -J option of tar
(telling it to use the xz compressor)
Someone replied to my bug report that once app-arch/xz-utils becomes
stable it will replace lzma-utils. But I needed both now.
So, I installed app-arch/xz-utils outside of portage with the
prefix /usr/local. Then I told portage about it by

echo "app-arch/xz-utils-9999" > /etc/portage/profile/package.provided

That works.

There's also a --use-compress-prog switch for tar so you can make it
use any program you like. (unless that's a new option too?)
