I filed a bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53900 , which describes it more detailled. In short: I have installed vcdimage independent form xine-vcds. When I run emerge -uD world, vcdimage gets updated. When emerge finishes, an I run it once more, then it downgrades vcdimager because xine-vcdx depends on 0.7.19. I think we should change the ebuild, but I think, that this is a portage bug, or better, a feature to portage should be added, where portage detects such a "circular" dependency. Johnny Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
please paste #emerge info
The emerge info is at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53900 , too, but no problem here you are.
