But virtual/ffmpeg can select either libav or ffmpeg. So by "human" logic it should be sufficient to emerge media-video/ffmpeg only. Can this be fixed in portage? best regards Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a clean system: no ffmpeg, no libav, no virtual/ffmpeg installed 2. emerge -pv media-plugins/vdr-xineliboutput 3. Actual Results: Tries to emerge both ffmpeg _and_ libav Expected Results: Only emerge ffmpeg, which is already selected by another package (xine-lib) temporal workaround: echo media-video/libav >> /etc/portage/package.mask This selects media-video/ffmpeg only for build.
basically this, maybe portage team will know better. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 515584 ***
This seems slightly different from bug 515584.
We can handle this similarly to how we handle slot conflicts without backtracking in the _solve_non_slot_operator_slot_conflicts method: https://github.com/gentoo/portage/commit/a862cc5dd1a56114fa579c5fb01b518b243666d9 In fact, we should be able to extend this method to handle blocker conflicts in addition to slot conflicts.

This bug has been fixed for two years. It has been fixed with this commit. https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/media-libs/xine-lib/xine-lib-1.2.6-r1.ebuild?revision=1.1&view=markup
This is a dependency resolver issue that was exposed by the vdr-xineliboutput dependencies.
