Bug 32811 – ffmpeg version weirdness

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Rincewind 2003-11-05 11:10:04 UTC]

for some days portage fools me with this problem: 
if i emerge -pUD world i get : 
 
[ebuild     UD] media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.7 [0.4.8] +mmx +encode +oggvorbis -doc 
-faad +dvd -static +sdl +imlib +truetype 
 
and it tries to downgrade although i used -UD. 
Right after downgrading it wants to update again to 0.4.8 
 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

My first guess would be there's an ebuild that needs "=ffmpeg.0.4.7" (and
not ">=").
What does a qpkg -q ffmpeg give?

Heres the result of qpkg -q ffmpeg
DEPENDED ON BY:
        avifile-0.7.38.20030710
        transcode-0.6.10
        vlc-0.6.2
media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.7

        media-video/transcode-0.6.10
        media-video/vlc-0.6.2

and it appears to be the vlc ebuild. is it safe to change it ? or will that
lead to a disfunktional vlc?

[Comment 3 Marc Hildebrand (RETIRED) 2003-11-06 22:13:20 UTC]

The line (in the vlc-0.6.2 ebuild) says "=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.7*".
I'd say try it and if everything works as expected file an bug for a new
ebuild vlc-0.6.2-r1.

Raker might want to have a look at this.

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2004-01-24 20:37:10 UTC]

ffmpeg is no longer in DEPEND of vlc
