dev-libs/libxml2 icu flag -- Installing Anki and Chromium On the Same System

[tjones2]

Hi, 

 

I am trying to install the Anki flashcard application on a system that already has Chromium installed. There seems to be an incompatibility involving the dev-libs/libxml2 icu flag -- Chromium needs it enabled while Anki needs it off.  When I run emerge anki I receive the following error (the full stderr and stdout output of the command is attached). Edit: Attached the full output.

 

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled

!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

Try setting the useflag "icu" as a global (in /etc/portage/make.conf) instead of a local useflag. Then, try the emerge --NDvau @world, and install both packages you mentioned.
