These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

!!! Error: circular dependencies:

('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/DirectFB-0.9.25.1', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'media-libs/libsdl-1.2.11-r2', 'merge') (hard)
('ebuild', '/', 'media-libs/libsdl-1.2.11-r2', 'merge') depends on

!!! Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
!!! disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.

I has sync portage tree, i change the sync mirror and gentoo mirror, but problem  persists.

naturaly, the problem isn't in ffmpeg merger only, it's affected some packages of media-video, media-libs and others.

I have three days to the problem.

Reproducible: Always




the problem is in 32bit chroot system.
