In trying to do an "emere -u world" today I get this....

trinity root # emerge -u world
Calculating world dependencies ...done!

!!! Error: the gnome-base/gnome-core package conflicts with this package and both can't be installed on the same system together.
trinity root #

Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Sounds like you have Gnome 1.4 installed currently and it is trying to update you to Gnome2 (since you asked for a world update.) You might want to read up on how to go from a working 1.4 to a working 2 of Gnome. It is fairly well covered in the forums by spider (the guy who wrote the gnome 2 ebuild.)

Nope..... I *was* running gnome 1.4, and since then moved to gnome 2 (basically as soon as it was released...). Gnome 2 had been working fine (although that is relative, I'm pretty dissappointed with it)

Hmmm... even after "emerge rsync" I'm still getting the same issue - this didn't happen until gnome 2.0.1 came out...? Anyone else seen this / figured out how to fix it?

Check this forum thread out, I think you should be able to get up and running from the info in there. Long story short just unmerge the gnome-base/gnome-core and then re-emerge gnome (or do your update as you have been trying to do)

I had the same problem! I searched before I posted and found your answer. It worked for me too!

Peace,
