Description mikeym 2009-11-24 10:25:02 UTC

Having mplayer installed puts a block on unrar by having a requirement for unrar-gpl since these 2 packages are essentially interchangeable if the dependency is required it should give the option of one or the other to be installed on the system.

mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090322.ebuild:

 95     rar? ( || ( app-arch/unrar-gpl
 96         app-arch/unrar ) )

mplayer is satisfied with either of the two.

Sorry. I assumed that emerge was clever enough to work out if a option was valid when calculating blocks and when it had placed a block on unrar due to mplayer that it was because mplayer would only accept unrar-gpl. 

Thanks for your time.
