Gentoo noobie here so be gentle. Long time linux/Unix though.

emerge -u tclx
>>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-tcltk/tclx-8.3-r1 to /
>>> md5 ;-) tclx8.3.tar.gz
>>> md5 ;-) tcl8.4.2-src.tar.gz
>>> md5 ;-) tk8.4.2-src.tar.gz
....

This eventually fails with an error about version problems:

Error: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.4, need 8.3
(while initializing TclX)

When I look at the online package database this is listed:

tcl 8.3.4
tk 8.3.4r1


Any solutions to suggest? I deleted the tcl and tk 8.4* packages and did
emerge portage
emerge sync

The 8.4* packages come back. I can't finish my 'emerge -e world' because of this error. Is this a problem with the package dependency structure? If so then how would one go about telling emerge to ignore tclx and finish my world update?

Perhaps it is related to this.

Yes, it is related. For now I am updating packages manually, thanks for the pointer.

Possibly a result of this:
Code:
 * Your compile WILL fail if you are upgrading from
 * a previous version of tclx.
 *
 * emerge unmerge tclx
 * BEFORE upgrading to a newer version
 *
 * You have been warned :)

No, the problem back in May was of a different nature. Check the link in the second article for the cause.
