Thanks, I'll try that when I get there. :)



Here is what I'm running into now...



First, I try to unmerge the dev-lang/php:

 # emerge --unmerge dev-lang/php

--- Couldn't find dev-lang/php to unmerge.

>>> unmerge: No packages selected for removal.



Ok, good -- now I should be able to merge in my updates:

 # emerge -tND mail-client/squirrelmail dev-php/PEAR-DB
dev-php/PEAR-PEAR net-www/apache dev-php/sqlite-php  net-www/apache
dev-libs/apr-util



These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:



Calculating dependencies ...done!

[blocks B     ]
dev-lang/php (is blocking dev-php/php-4.4.0-r4)

[nomerge      ] dev-php/sqlite-php-0.0.5

[ebuild  N    ]  dev-php/php-4.4.0-r4

[nomerge      ]
mail-client/squirrelmail-1.4.5-r1

[nomerge      ]  dev-php/PEAR-DB-1.7.6-r1

[ebuild  N    ]   dev-lang/php-5.0.5-r5

[nomerge      ] dev-python/python-fchksum-1.7.1

[ebuild   R   ]   
net-www/apache-2.0.55-r1

[ebuild   R   ]    
dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.7



Note the first line of the dependencies lists that
"dev-lang/php" is blocking the PHP installation yet the unmerge
says it isn't there... :(



Is there some DB cleanup that I need to do with emerge or portage?
