[gentoo-user] sys-power/powermgmt-base blocks sys-power/pm-utils, but it's not installed yet

time, but it's been several days and it hasn't, so the problem must be
on my end. See the following listing:

[blocks B ] sys-power/powermgmt-base ("sys-power/powermgmt-base" is
blocking sys-power/pm-utils-1.2.5)
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be

As you can see powermgmt-base is on the emerge list, as is pm-utils. I
installed kde-meta because my mother-in-law is visiting and she likes
kpatience and it didn't work anymore with kde-3.5. Now, how do I
resolve this block?

Add --tree to the emerge command to see what is pulling in each of these
packages.

You cannot have both those packages at the same time.
From the pm-utils ebuild:
$ cat pm-utils/pm-utils-1.2.5.ebuild
[snip]
RDEPEND=">=sys-apps/hal-0.5.10
>=sys-apps/dbus-1.0.0
!sys-power/powermgmt-base
You need to get rid of powermgmt-base somehow or not use pm-utils. The depends
list for pm-utils is:
$ equery depends pm-utils
* Searching for pm-utils ...
kde-base/powerdevil-4.3.4 (pm-utils ? sys-power/pm-utils)
net-misc/wicd-1.6.2.2 (pm-utils ? >=sys-power/pm-utils-1.1.1)
sys-apps/hal-0.5.14 (laptop ? >=sys-power/pm-utils-0.99.3)
alan@nazgul ~/downloads/iso/gentoo $ eix powermgmt-base
So I assume you have KDE4 installed.
What package do you have that wants powermgmt-base? (emerge -t helps find
this)

According to the error message sys-power/powermgmt-base is getting
pulled by sys-apps/apmd and sys-power/pm-utils by kde-base/powerdevil.
If you use ACPI then there is probably no need in having APM daemon
installed. Add -t to your emerge command and check what package depends
on apmd.
Cheers,

If the package pulling in powermgmt-base isn't necessary for anything you
know of then add it to package.mask

I changed USE in /etc/make.conf to -apm and did an emerge -ND world and
the block is resolved. I think the apm flag got added to solve an X
problem years ago, but I guess we'll find out the next time the computer
is rebooted...

You need "N" in those portage options. Without it, it won't take changed USE
flags into account for already installed packages.
Test with -p, if you are happy with what portage intends to do, put USE="-apm"
into make.conf or packages.use as normal, then run the emerge for real.
