You need to ensure that USE flags for media-video/ffmpeg and virtual/ffmpeg match.
(In reply to comment #1) > You need to ensure that USE flags for media-video/ffmpeg and virtual/ffmpeg > match. done - issue still does exist.
(In reply to comment #2) > (In reply to comment #1) > > You need to ensure that USE flags for media-video/ffmpeg and virtual/ffmpeg > > match. > > done - issue still does exist. this should be fixed now (virtual depends on flag? instead of flag=), please reopen if not and attach the emerge -pv output
