Bug 641876 – media-libs/speex and media-libs/speexdsp seem to clash

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description doj 2017-12-21 05:40:04 UTC]

I updated my portage to the version of 2017-12-20, and I see a conflict of dependencies on media-libs/speex and media-libs/speexdsp:

[blocks B      ] <media-libs/speex-1.2.0 ("<media-libs/speex-1.2.0" is blocking media-libs/speexdsp-1.2_rc3-r2)

I don't understand what would be the difference between these 2 ebuilds, but I didn't have this issue before. I have used the wireshark and mplayer applications for a long time, had no dependency issues with them before.

Please use `emerge -uvD --backtrack=30 world` for your update and try again.

root@cubicle:/etc/portage # emerge --ask -uvD --backtrack=30 world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Same result. As I've mentioned the media-libs/speex and media-libs/speexdsp packages seem to be incompatible. But why have 2 different packages? They seem to install the same software.
