Just FTPintaled latest Gentoox 7.1

Any time I run magic get this;
A new version of portage is available, this will be installed now.
emerge portage...

* IMPORTANT: 4 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.

* Use eselect news to read news items.

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] app-admin/eselect-python-20090824
[ebuild U ] app-admin/eselect-1.2.3 [1.0.11-r1]
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.6.13 [2.1.6.4]

*** Portage will stop merging at this point and reload itself,
then resume the merge.

[blocks B ] app-admin/eselect-news ("app-admin/eselect-news" is blocking app-admin/eselect-1.2.3)

* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
* installed at the same time on the same system.

That's not a magic problem, it's a problem with portage.

It suggests that you first need to run:

Code: Select all

emerge -C eselect-news
After that, run magic again.
