well I have xine-ui emeged and it works (...somehow -> see bug #96073 if interested :-| ) BUT: when I type 'emerge xine-ui' portage says it's a NEW package btw: I have that problem with some other packages, but do not remember which ones right now. just to clear that out: I do _not_ remove, alter or overwrite any files that 'work with' portage! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge -pv --deep --newuse xine-ui Actual Results: magic atti # emerge -pv xine-ui These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Created attachment 61204 [details] shows portage statement and running xine-ui Sorry for da big screenshot but 'emerge gimp' fails on my system...
you neglected to post `emerge info` like you were told to also post the output of ls /var/db/pkg/media-video/ cat /var/db/pkg/media-video/xine-ui-*/SLOT

well that should be a hint as to why portage doesnt think you have it installed all installed packages are recorded in /var/db/pkg it isnt recorded on your machine as being installed thus it isnt
I'm sorry but I didn't get the point. Didn't I install it using 'emerge xine-ui'? What to do now?!
re-emerge it the directory was lost somehow on your machine, theres nothing to be done about it
