this is virtually impossible.. gst-plugins eclass deps on gst-plugins deps on gstreamer.

Make sure media-plugins/gstreamer is installed.

[Comment 2 Luca Spiller 2005-05-08 02:11:34 UTC]

For some reason gstreamer was in the world file, but wasn't installed. :S

emerge -C gstreamer

 media-libs/gstreamer
    selected: 0.8.9-r3
   protected: none
     omitted: none

>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

>>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting...
>>> (Control-C to abort)...
>>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1 
>>> Unmerging media-libs/gstreamer-0.8.9-r3...
No package files given... Grabbing a set.
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...

 * GNU info directory index is up-to-date.

But something is still wrong, it doesn't want to install gstreamer as a dep:

emerge -pv gst-plugins-flac

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-flac-0.8.8  0 kB 

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

And it definately ain't installed this time. ;)

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2005-05-08 03:19:47 UTC]

gstreamer is not a direct dep gst-plugins, so it won't get picked up like that.

In short, I don't see how this could happen if you haven't removed gstreamer core yourself. So until you can prove me otherwise I'm closing this as not a bug.

[Comment 4 Luca Spiller 2005-05-08 05:39:12 UTC]

"gstreamer is not a direct dep gst-plugins"

Could I ask why not? It should be otherwise a load of ebuilds will fail to compile. For example:

emerge -pvD rhythmbox

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-flac-0.8.8  0 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-gnomevfs-0.8.8  0 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] media-sound/rhythmbox-0.8.8-r1  -aac -debug +flac -mad +oggvorbis -pda 2,378 kB 

Total size of downloads: 2,378 kB

This fails because gstreamer is not installed and is not a dep of gst-plugins-flac or gst-plugins-gnomevfs.
