I tried discovering the package owning libquicktime.so and re-emerging that. I found that libquicktime-0.9.2_pre1 and quicktime4linux-1.5.5-r1 were both installed on my system and both considered to be blocking each other by portage. I unmerged both of them and then continued my emerge -u world, letting portage choose which one it wanted (it chose quicktime4linux). I'm not sure where the real bug is here; I never installed either libquicktime or quicktime4linux myself, so they were only there as dependencies. Somehow in the normal course of doing emerge -u worlds, these two packages came to be installed together, blocking each other, and causing a third package to fail to emerge, but there was never any error message indicating that there was a blocking issue. This has slight similarities to bug 20705... The problem is that there are different quicktime libraries in portage which should always have blocked each other, but didn't. The blocking statements were added later. As far as I remember we didn't force a version bump of the packages because this problem appears rather rarely. Sorry for any inconvenience. I'm setting this to "wontfix" for now. |
