Description Rudolf Polzer 2008-01-29 11:02:45 UTC

When emerging kmplayer, mplayer should automatically be emerged also as a dependency - but that doesn't happen. So at a first try after emerging kmplayer and starting kmplayer an error message is shown that says mplayer is missing. After emerging mplayer everything is fine.

Reproducible: Always

kmplayer depends on mplayer only if you have the "mplayer" useflag set.
Thise makes sense as kmplayer is also a frontend for other mediaplayers (xine, cairo)
The ebuild will warn you if you have none of the three installed.

Indeed.
