* For compatibility with other quicktime libraries, libquicktime was * going to create a /usr/include/quicktime symlink, but for some * reason that is a directory on your system. * Please check that is empty, and remove it, or submit a bug * telling us which package owns the directory. * * ERROR: media-libs/libquicktime-1.0.0 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 1658: Called dyn_preinst * ebuild.sh, line 1100: Called pkg_preinst * libquicktime-1.0.0.ebuild, line 113: Called die * * /usr/include/quicktime is a directory. killerghost ~ # qfile /usr/include/quicktime media-libs/libquicktime (/usr/include/quicktime) killerghost ~ # emerge -s libquicktime Searching... [ Results for search key : libquicktime ] [ Applications found : 1 ] * media-libs/libquicktime Latest version available: 1.0.0 Latest version installed: 0.9.2_pre1 Size of files: 975 kB Homepage: http://libquicktime.sourceforge.net/ Description: A library based on quicktime4linux with extensions License: LGPL-2.1 This hasn't been reported as bug, so far. I wonder if the maintainers want to care for a solution for the ebuild or let the user decide to remove an old install of media-libs/libquicktime. In the latter case, this information should be included to the remarks, IMHO. Please comment.
