Bug 44914 – emerge -up world crashes with divx4linux-20030428-r1

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Simon Hastie 2004-03-16 19:18:38 UTC]

when I run emerge -up world, during dependency check on divx4linux-20030428-r1 it crashes with the following error message whether the package is installed or not:

emerge -UDvp world
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Removing divx from my USE flags fixes the problem...
I tried masking that specific ebuild but it didn't help.

Could it be an ebuild that depends on divx4linux-20030428-r1?
I just did emerge sync before this happened, the problem didn't occur before.

This problem is present in the gst-plugins ebuild from gnome-current in breakmygentoo - adding a >= in front of the media-libs/divx4linux in the gst-plugins-0.7.6.ebuild fixed it for me.

Complain to the BMG people then.
