(I have libva-1.1.0 installed which has subsequently been removed from the ebuilds.)
... just why? See this: $ equery d libva * These packages depend on libva ... x11-libs/libva-intel-driver-1.0.18-r1 (>=x11-libs/libva-1.0.16)
Sorry, I forgot to mention that because of some upstream funnyness 1.0.16 is actually newer than 1.1.0.
Thanks, that fixed it. I emerged x11-libs/libva-1.0.16 and then x11-libs/libva-intel-driver-1.0.18-r1 emerged just fine. I normally try to avoid downgrading (which this appeared to be) and I figured the libva-1.1.0 ebuild would be replaced or upgraded shortly following its removal, but I didn't know about the upstream version sillyness.
I also do that sometimes, but an additional 'equery c <package>' doesn't hurt to gather some info about the nature of a mask/removal.
That's a completely awesome command. I've always hunted up the ChangeLog manually. I've been using Gentoo for 7 years and I'm still learning things... Thanks!
