media-libs/openquicktime-1.0-r1 and media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.2_pre1 both provide the files: /usr/bin/qtinfo /usr/bin/qtdump. Thus one package overwrites the files from the other package. Maybe they should block each other or rename those two files.
they shouldn't be installed at the same time see bug #20709
There are interesting dependencies. media-video/transcode for example depends on both virtual/quicktime and media-libs/openquicktime. libquicktime provides virtual/quicktime. Thus if openquicktime and libquicktime should not be installed at the same time, libquicktime should not provide virtual/quicktime at all. I am not sure if this is the best solution.
Non-issue, libquicktime blocks openquicktime and vice-versa, unless you installed them a long time ago, it shouldn't be possible now.
libquicktime blocks quicktime4linux and vice versa. But nothing blocks openquicktime and openquicktime blocks nothing. I suppose Zhen Lin confused openquicktime with quicktime4linux in his comment.
They all should be blocking virtual/quicktime. I'll take a look at this if no one beats me to it.
Asked seemant why libquicktime specifically blocks quicktime4linux. Stay tuned.
Should all block each other now. Please check if I got them all. Didn't bump revision since if it's not broken for someone, there's no need to fix it.
What about the mentioned transcode issue? I think as a result of the fix transcode's dependency should be updated. media-video/transcode depends on: quicktime? ( virtual/quicktime media-libs/openquicktime ) openquicktime provides virtual/quicktime, so I guess it should now be quicktime? virtual/quicktime But is this okay? I suppose transcode depends on a specific quicktime implementation for a reason (but I am not sure). I don't use transcode, and can't really test it's quicktime functionality.
Openquicktime does not add virtual/quicktime to virtuals on my machine. Had to add it manually. Then portage settled down. The openquicktime ebuild does have PROVIDES="virtual/quicktime" in it, is that enough for portage to add the virtual after installing?
