hi, i've run into conflicting packages before, and i usually solve the problem by changing a use variable, but for this conflict their is no use variable i can change. here's the output of emerge -up world
Code:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild    U ] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.19-r1 [2.4.19]
[blocks B    ] <dev-perl/File-Spec-0.84-r1 (from pkg dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12)
[ebuild    U ] sys-apps/groff-1.18.1-r3 [1.18.1-r2]
[ebuild    U ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12 [5.8.0-r10]
[ebuild    U ] sys-devel/automake-1.7.5-r2 [1.7.2]
[ebuild    U ] app-admin/mirrorselect-0.7-r1 [0.5]
[ebuild  N   ] sys-devel/gnuconfig-20030708
[ebuild    U ] sys-devel/patch-2.5.9 [2.5.4-r5]
[ebuild    U ] sys-devel/libtool-1.4.3-r1 [1.4.1-r10]
[ebuild    U ] net-www/mozilla-firebird-0.6.1 [0.6-r6]
[ebuild    U ] sys-apps/psmisc-21.2-r3 [21.2-r2]
[ebuild    U ] sys-apps/hdparm-5.4 [5.3-r2]
[ebuild    U ] net-www/mozilla-1.4-r3 [1.4]
and here's what i get when i do emerge -u world
Code:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
 
!!! Error: the <dev-perl/File-Spec-0.84-r1 package conflicts with this package and both can't be installed on the same system together.
what should i do to fix this, i can't think of any use variable to change, and file-spec was installed on my system, so it probably is a dependency of some other package i need. thanks

Search better next time... All you need to do is unmerge the File-Spec-0.84-r1 manually, hit emerge -u world and you'll be on your way.
