watch out
emerge -pu transcode --deep

emerge netpbm should fix this

[Comment 2 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-02-24 14:48:32 UTC]

unmerged netpbm

watch out
emerge --deep -p transcode

[Comment 3 Ian Smith 2003-02-26 07:35:12 UTC]

Hmmm, downgrading netpbm worked for transcode.

But now it's in an upgrade/downgrade cycle when I emerge -u world !

THX anyway!
