mplayer and mencoder (media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre5-r5) is linked with libungif instead of libgif, even if gif is in use. I know you "solved" this in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78209, but I want to remind you mplayer can even create gifs, so this "solution" is not acceptable.

Unfortunately Bug 18820 is still pending. It's either or, but I don't think we can force an implementation. It's your decision, if you want to use giflib or libungif. Maybe a postinstall message!?
BTW, that new mplayer-1.0_pre5-r5.ebuild from Feb 7 22:14 with autodetection still had that problem, even though it didn't depend on libungif ... I don't know if problem can be related to time I emerged libgif and libungif ... ... it's correct solution unmerge libungif ? Or should I simply re-emerge both of them ? How can I test if I have installed somethink which depend on libungif ?
Huh, what are you talking about? MPlayer now depends soley on giflib, not libungif, as libungif does horrible things to gif headers and upstream prefers it as the default. Not sure what else to say but to try emerge-ing giflib instead.
I'm talking about situation I'm presently in. I have installed both libgif and libungif, not sure about order, and when I reinstalled mplayer, it links with libungif. I can believe I'm in situation which could not happen with current portage, but still I'm sure there is better solution that reinstall ... So I'm asking about that solution. For example: can I safely unmerge libungif ? Or better, how can I test what other packages are linked to it ? If someone answer that question, I can try it and report, if reemerging mplayer after have correct results.
Ok, libungif is being removed. So basically, I'd remove libungif and use giflib instead. libungif is being removed anyways, and giflib will become the replacement for it. a) get rid of libungif b) get giflib c) emerge mplayer d) profit!
So I unmerged libungif, use revdep-rebuild (comment at bug 58317 answer my question "how can I test what other packages are linked to it ?") and must reemerge not only mplayer, but also following: app-office/openoffice-bin app-text/gocr media-libs/imlib media-libs/imlib2 media-video/transcode app-emulation/wine. Mplayer is now linked to giflib, wine does not work ... (some clone of bug 73458).
