Description Olivier Castan 2004-08-05 06:03:02 UTC 
Here is the history of media-plugins/live installation :
# genlop media-plugins/live
 * media-plugins/live

     Wed Mar 31 18:58:20 2004 >>> media-plugins/live-2004.03.27

     Tue Aug  3 10:24:57 2004 >>> media-plugins/live-2004.03.27
     Wed Aug  4 03:10:12 2004 >>> media-plugins/live-2004.07.20
     Thu Aug  5 03:19:15 2004 >>> media-plugins/live-2004.03.27

The two ebuilds requiring media-plugins/live on my systems (x86 and ppc) are :
        media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre5-r2
        media-video/vlc-0.7.2-r1

The dependency strings are :
- media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre5-r2 :
        !ia64? (
                theora? ( media-libs/libtheora )
                live? ( >=media-plugins/live-2004.03.27 )
                )
- media-video/vlc-0.7.2-r1 :
        =media-plugins/live-2004.03*

The problem looks like a conflict between these 2 dependencies.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Chris White (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-10 11:41:07 UTC 
vlc was the culprit.  I fixed it with a patch that I used for mplayer.

Thanks for posting!
