The ebuild for package media-plugins/xmms-goom DEPENDs on sys-apps/sh-utils. The package sys-apps/sh-utils has been replaced by sys-apps/coreutils. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
how come?
When portage last updated sys-apps/coreutils for me, I noticed a message that said to remove fileutils, textutils and sh-utils. So I did. However, now portage wants to re-emerge sh-utils, which seems contrary to the message in sys-apps/coreutils. My apologies for not including this in the first place.
I'm not so sure that this is an xmms-goom bug at all, to be honest. Can you paste the emerge -up --deep world here please? also, paste the output of: ls -ld /etc/make.profile Thanks
emerge -up --deep [ebuild U ] app-doc/kdelibs-apidocs-3.1.3 [3.1.2] [ebuild U ] kde-base/kdebase-3.1.3 [3.1.2] [ebuild N ] sys-apps/sh-utils-2.0.15-r1 [ebuild U ] media-video/mjpegtools-1.6.1 [1.6.0-r7] [ebuild FU ] dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.01 [1.4.2] ls -ld /etc/make.profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Nov 25 2002 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4
Additionaly, if I unmerge xmms-goom, afterwards the sys-apps/sh-utils-2.0.15-r1 package doesn't appear in 'emerge -up --deep'. If I re-emerge xmms-goom, it comes back. Also, here is the 'emerge --info' info I neglected to originaly include: Portage 2.0.49-r3 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.20-gentoo-r5) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 i686 Celeron (Mendocino) ccache version 2.2 [enabled] ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium2 -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium2 -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="sandbox autoaddcvs ccache" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups encode foomaticdb gif jpeg libg++ mad mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gtkhtml gdbm berkdb slang readline arts bonobo svga ggi tcltk guile ruby mysql X sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gnome gtk qt kde motif opengl mozilla cdr -3dnow ldap -alsa java aalib samba tiff tetex mozsvg mbox xface moznoirc moznomail apache2 gtk2 dga joystick"
please paste the output of: find /var/db/pkg -name 'DEPEND' | xargs grep 'sh-utils' and: find /var/db/pkg -name 'RDEPEND' | xargs grep 'sh-utils'

jeez, sorry to have you do all that. I'm a dumbass sometimes, sorry. fixed the ebuild.
