Hello, there seems to be a dependency missing somewhere in the various gstreamer packages. When I try 'emerge --depclean -p', I get this: # emerge --depclean -p >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: media-libs/gst-plugins selected: 0.8.11 protected: none omitted: none So, it seems this package isn't needed by any other package, so I go and unmerge it. Then, I do the usual 'revdep-rebuild -p', and get this list: broken /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstalsa.so (requires libgstinterfaces-0.8.so.0) broken /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstossaudio.so (requires libgstinterfaces-0.8.so.0) broken /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstalsa.la (requires /usr/lib/libgstinterfaces-0.8.la) broken /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstossaudio.la (requires /usr/lib/libgstinterfaces-0.8.la) These libraries are in media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa and media-plugins/gst-plugins-oss. However, they do require media-libs/gst-plugins: emerge --oneshot -p =media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.11 =media-plugins/gst-plugins-oss-0.8.11 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.11 USE="alsa esd oss -debug" [ebuild R ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.11 [ebuild R ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-oss-0.8.11 I don't know exactly where the bug lies, but the only problem I see is it appearing incorrectly in --depclean. If it is needed by some package, it shouldn't be listed there, should it?

Just to add more info, after the recommended merge by revdep-rebuild, I got once again in depclean: # emerge --depclean -p >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: media-libs/gst-plugins selected: 0.8.11 protected: none omitted: none
emerge --depclean is known to be broken... Reopen if revdep-rebuild doesn't fix the problem for you.
