Description Neil Katin 2005-05-07 21:55:35 UTC

Note for reviewers: this should probably be assigned to the media-video herd...

There is a conflict between the fixes for bugs 90238 and 91061, resulting
in a system that won't emerge due to conflicting dependencies.

libquicktime 0.9.4 was recently unmasked.  But media-video/transcode-0.6.11
(the most recent unmasked ebuild) has an explicit dependency on libquicktime-0.9.2.
Since the system now has libquicktime-0.9.4 the dependency is unmet, and
the transcode ebuild ends up trying to bring in quicktime4linux.  But
quicktime4linux is incompatible with libquicktime, and the emerge breaks.

I can't just use quicktime4linux instead of libquicktime, because I have
mjpegtools, which has an explict dependency on libquicktime.

Unmerging libquicktime and quicktime4linux does not help; the ebuild is
still blocked.

As a workaround: unmerge libquicktime and quicktime4linux, and emerge
openquicktime instead; then there will not be any blocking between
packages.
