several packages, such as pymp and mplay have a dependency on mplayer and their ebuilds refuse to recognise mplayer-bin. we could either 1. create a virtual/mplayer that can be satisfied through media-video/mplayer or media-video/mplayer-bin, or alternatively 2. update all packages using mplayer to use mplayer-bin if that's what's installed. p.s. please don't link this bug as a duplicate to already closed #149808, #149810, #149811 unless you are going to reopen one of them! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mplayer-bin 2. emerge -av pymp [or mplay] 3. Actual Results: emerge wants to emerge media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_xxxxxx Expected Results: emerge would use mplayer-bin
You cannot compile anything against mplayer-bin; period. If something uses mplayer stuff just as RDEPEND and doesn't compile against it, then file a bug about that ebuild; virtual/mplayer doesn't make sense and is not going to happen.
