Doesn't look like a vlc bug.   Seems like you downgraded nspr since upgrading xulrunner?

yep; reassigning, maybe a too low dep has been introduced in some xulrunner version

Without knowing exactly what xulrunner is installed there is nothing the mozilla team can do for ya.

Hi,

I might have another "clue". A couple of weeks ago tried Firefox 4. This means that I for a short period installed unstable versions of all packages needed to make that installation. I have this trace left in my /etc/portage/package.keywords

# www-client/firefox ~amd64
# net-libs/xulrunner ~amd64
# dev-libs/nss ~amd64
# dev-libs/nspr ~amd64

(they are commented out since then, ie no longer unstable on my system)

However, since then I have run
  emerge --depclean
and
  emerge --update --with-bdeps y --newuse --deep world
multiple times.

If you are still experiencing problems feel free to reopen bug. Looking at the deps I do not see an issue in current stable systems.
