There are two sets of programs I cannot install together due to some conflict over openssl:
the default was set 1, but I now more need set 2, so I uninstalled the programs in set 1 to be able to install set 2. However, in the future I may need openssh so I was wondering if this conflict can be resolve somehow.
I have already tried the --oneshot and --backtrack=30 options offered in various places, but none of them worked.
Some other facts that may be helpful.
an example run:
Please let me know what other data is needed for successful investigation. I'm a first time user, so not experienced with Gentoo at all. (Previous experience extends to Raspbian, Ubuntu, and Manjaro only)
