Description Matt Caesar 2003-03-06 23:54:33 UTC
With transcode 6.3 installed it depends on:

hotrod root # emerge -ep transcode |grep -i avifile
[ebuild  N   ] media-video/avifile-0.7.32.20030219

If drip 8.2_pre1 is installed, it wants to install two different avifile
versions that have the same slot.

hotrod root # emerge -ep drip |grep -i avifile
[ebuild  N   ] media-video/avifile-0.7.15.20020816-r1
[ebuild  N   ] media-video/avifile-0.7.32.20030219

This has a side effect of transcode emerging avifile 7.32 when doing an emerge
-u --deep. the next time the --deep world option is used drip wants to downgrade
 to version 7.32... and the cycle never ends.

I think the problem lies in the following in the drip ebuild.

RDEPEND="gnome-base/gnome-libs
        <media-video/avifile-0.7.22
        >=media-video/avifile-0.7.4.20020426-r2

I meant to say that drip wants to downgrade to version 7.15.

Doesn't look like a dupe to me, and besides, it's still broken ;)
