After upgrading from media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.4 to media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.7-r1, I got following output: >>> Completed installing libquicktime-0.9.7-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/libquicktime-0.9.7-r1/image/ man: gzipping man page: lqtplay.1 strip: i686-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded /usr/lib/libquicktime.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/libquicktime/lqt_audiocodec.so /usr/lib/libquicktime/lqt_videocodec.so /usr/lib/libquicktime/lqt_opendivx.so /usr/lib/libquicktime/lqt_rtjpeg.so /usr/lib/libquicktime/lqt_mjpeg.so /usr/lib/libquicktime/lqt_png.so /usr/lib/libquicktime/lqt_vorbis.so /usr/lib/libquicktime/lqt_lame.so /usr/bin/libquicktime_config /usr/bin/lqtplay /usr/bin/lqtvrplay /usr/bin/qtinfo /usr/bin/qtstreamize /usr/bin/qtdechunk /usr/bin/qtrechunk /usr/bin/qtyuv4toyuv /usr/bin/qtdump /usr/bin/lqt_transcode removing executable bit: /usr/lib/libquicktime.la >>> Merging media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.7-r1 to / * For compatibility with other quicktime libraries, libquicktime was * going to create a /usr/include/quicktime symlink, but for some * reason that is a directory on your system. * Please check that is empty, and remove it, or submit a bug * telling us which package owns the directory. !!!

Have the same but upgrading form 0.9.7 to 0.9.7-r1. Fiald to upgrade because <libquitime-0.9.7-r1 creates /usr/include/quicktime directory and libquicktime-0.9.7-r1 wants to create symlink /usr/include/quicktime
Same here -- for upgrading from 0.9.4
yes, seems that libquicktime-0.9.7-r1 ignores that every version before it did create a real /usr/include/quicktime. I have the same error here and # equery belongs /usr/include/quicktime [ Searching for file(s) /usr/include/quicktime in *... ] media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.4 (/usr/include/quicktime)

How about adding a block in 0.9.7-r1 ebuild for previous versions, !<media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.7 So it makes user to remove old version out of the way?
Created attachment 88482 [details, diff] patch for libquicktime-0.9.7-r1.ebuild
A self blocker isn't so much friendly most of the times; also, the directory won't be removed this way as it was installed by another package, not by libquicktime.
Comment on attachment 88482 [details, diff] patch for libquicktime-0.9.7-r1.ebuild since this was a bad idea..
Please add information that bug #138828 is blocked by this one.. Will test on both bugs later

I've added a 'fix' (more a crude hack) to delete the blocking directory. Please test. I've also bumped libquicktime to 0.9.9. Cheers, Marc.
I'm emerging 0.9.10 while 0.9.3-r1 is installed and the problem is still present. The ebuild checks with $(has_version =media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.4);

What bugs me about this 'resolution' is that the burden of figuring out the problem goes back to the user. If the general consensus is that old versions of libquicktime should just be unmerged, then in order of preference: 1. An emerge of libquicktime "just works" (per ebuild requirements) -- and will unmerge an old instance or delete the directory automatically (and thus doesn't bomb during a lengthy revdep-rebuild -- why does this always happen 30 minutes after going to bed?) 2. The warning message tells the user EXACTLY WHAT TO DO. If 99% of the time this is caused by versions of libquicktime that are older than xx, state that in the warning message, have the user check for the situation, and delete the directory or unmerge an old libquicktime. 3. The warning message tells the user that Bug #128807 at bugs.gentoo.org contains some valuable information, and the user can figure it out (again putting the burden back on the user, which is wrong IMO, but this will point those who don't know better in the right direction). So here's another data point: # equery belongs /usr/include/quicktime [ Searching for file(s) /usr/include/quicktime in *... ] media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.2_pre1 (/usr/include/quicktime) And here's why this can be even more annoying, as I mentioned, when it interrupts an evening of compiling: [snip] revdep-rebuild failed to emerge all packages you have the following choices: [/snip] This is only FIXED for one specific case: if $(has_version =media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.4); then einfo "It seems this directory belongs to libquicktime-0.9.4." einfo "We'll delete that directory now." rm -rvf /usr/include/quicktime else # Tell the user that they should figure it out, and if they can't, # go ahead and submit a duplicate bug einfo "Please check that is empty, and remove it, or submit a bug" einfo "telling us which package owns the directory." die "/usr/include/quicktime is a directory." fi
