Created attachment 298119 [details] phonon-vlc-0.5.0.ebuild.diff (as well as 9999) With release of phonon-vlc-0.5.0, dependencies of the package will need to change to >=media-libs/phonon-4.6.0 >=media-video/vlc-1.1.10 phonon-vlc-9999 already needs the update as it fails to build (at least against phonon-4.5.1-r1 I can tell for sure, vlc-1.1.10 as listed in the CMakeLists.txt) otherwise.
Thanks for reporting. Updated deps for 9999. 0.5.0 is not released yet.
