A lot of ebuilds have in DEPEND section media-libs/openal-<old version number> and new version number is recognized as older. Because of that the old version of openal is installed which blocks freealut. Solution for this is to remove version number of openal in DEPEND section of the ebuild (new openal will be used). I have problems with these ebuilds: (In these examples I masked >media-libs/openal-20000101 to check witch packages depend on old version numbered openal) emerge -upvD world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies 8 !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=media-libs/openal-20020127" have been masked. !!!
