Error message received when running "emerge -u portage&

Post by MountainSlide »

Hi, I get the following error message received when running "emerge -u portage": !!! Error: the <dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05-r6 package conflicts with this package and both can't be installed on the same system together.

I just ran magic and emerge sync. What do I need to do to correct this?

I ran into the same problem when emerging mod_php. Look at this post for the solution. The operation necessary will take quite a while though - be prepared :p

emerge -C ExtUtils-MakeMaker Test-Simple File-Spec

Should fix it.
