I'm trying to install git on my Gentoo webserver. The command "emerge dev-vcs/git" returns the following result :
* IMPORTANT: 12 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news read to view new items.
* IMPORTANT: 5 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating.
* See the CONFIGURATION FILES section of the emerge
* man page to learn how to update config files.

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
Following this, I tried to "emerge dev-lang/perl" but it returns the same error. Any tip ? Thanks guys !
