The "configure.ac" for VLC from 0.8.6 adds a check for a version of gnutls of 1.2.9 or better. 0.8.5 didn't check this. The ebuilds for 0.8.6 only require 1.0.17 or better. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.attempted to upgrade vlc from 0.8.5 to 0.8.6 with gnutls of 1.2.3, bombed 2. 3. Actual Results: checking for Ph.h... no checking for GNUTLS_CFLAGS... checking for GNUTLS_LIBS... configure: error: gnutls not present or too old (version 1.2.9 required)
Kindly update your system properly using emerge -uD world; the lowest gnutls version in the tree is 1.4.4-r1.
dep fixed thanks.
