* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be * installed at the same time on the same system. (sys-apps/kmod-7::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by >=sys-apps/kmod-5 required by (sys-fs/udev-181::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r1::gentoo, installed) pulled in by >=sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.2 required by (virtual/modutils-0::gentoo, installed) Googling, it looks like kmod is the replacement for module-init-tools, so it should just work, unless of course any packages explicitly depend on module-init-tools instead of the virtual... However, module-init-tools is part of system profile and I get the scary red text and 10-second countdown when I try to unmerge, so I chickened out and did a ctrl-c. :) Have any of you already changed from module-init-tools to kmod? Anything to be afraid of? It's a remote machine and I can boot rescue CD if it breaks, but I'd rather not have to do that.
