Hi,

Technically, you should remove the old one before merging the new one.
(Hint: You might want to build a binary package of it in case merging
the new one fails - check quickpkg command).

You could try to cheat, at your own risk, by using the --nodeps option.

Or do the non-risky:
quickpkg old_ebuild
emerge --nodeps --buildpkgonly new_ebuild
emerge -aC old_ebuild
emerge --(the option to use the bin pkg) new_ebuild

Just depends how fast is your computer and if you need it...  xorg
unmerged means can no longer start X applications and on my iBook, it
takes ~3 hours to build it.

David
