Gah. It's because you presumably had gstreamer before and you (now) have vlc[vaapi] being pulled in so it tries to downgrade ffmpeg. I think your options are: 1) emerge -p -uvDU @world --backtrack=100 or so and hope it resolves, or 2) -vaapi on vlc Does 1) work?
Problem is that I don't want VLC installed on my system so I used -vlc flag which does not work. Recently I created new Gentoo PC from scratch and it has the same problem with VLC.
This is from this new PC: # emerge -pv phonon These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! Dependency resolution took 2.77 s (backtrack: 1/20).

Ah, so. You have two choices: 1) USE=minimal on media-libs/phonon (it's in the newer version which it can't pull in because of your vlc mask(s), or 2) Live with VLC (the reason is that phonon-gstreamer is dead and being removed) commit 2da272d5c324600a81df1bac4b400145dfd628b9 Author: Andreas Sturmlechner <asturm@gentoo.org> Date: Mon Jul 1 17:25:12 2024 +0200 media-libs/phonon: Switch IUSE +vlc to minimal With only a single available backend left, it does not make that much sense to rely on a commonly disabled flag to provide major functionality, even if enabled by default. Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/935033 Signed-off-by: Andreas Sturmlechner <asturm@gentoo.org>
So what this "vlc" flag is used for? It dosen't work as I see it.
(In reply to Bartek from comment #7) > So what this "vlc" flag is used for? It dosen't work as I see it. As I said, it's gone in newer versions. You've masked phonon-vlc so Portage tries to backtrack to the last version which *could* support something else, but it'll be removed soon and gstreamer is a broken backend.
I masked it because it was pulling in VLC with -vlc USE flag
Yes, I understand -- it was doing that because VLC is as of a few days ago, the only supported backend for Phonon, because upstream have deprecated/archived gstreamer support.
I had -vlc and -gstreamer USE flags for years know so I still don't understand what is the problem. Why USE flag doesn't work as supposed to.
Please see https://bugs.gentoo.org/935706#c6. The answer is "phonon now only supports one backend (vlc), hence USE=vlc was removed because it doesn't make sense."
You made new flag (minimal) which just equals -vlc and -gstreamer. It is stupid.

Least I could do was fix a stupid typo there.
