Emerge info below. I run a ~sparc system but had to downgrade liboil to 0.3.6 to get totem to install. Totem install fails on the playbin. According to Gustavo on the Sparc forum (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-468879.html) the 0.3.8 seems to be bad on sparc. I guess I am asking for the removal of the ~sparc keyword unless someone can fix the library WebBorn ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.1_rc4-r3 (default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2006.0/2.4, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.4.30-sparc sparc64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.30-sparc sparc64 sun4u Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0 dev-lang/python: 2.2.3, 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.4.19-r1, 2.4.26-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="sparc ~sparc" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="sparc-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-mcpu=ultrasparc -O3 -pipe" CHOST="sparc-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=ultrasparc -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://d-penguin.na.xde3.xerox.org/gentoo-portage" USE="sparc X apache2 arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cli crypt cups dba dlloader dri eds encode esd fbcon foomaticdb fortran gcc64 gd gdbm gif gnome gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib isdnlog jpeg kde libwww mad mikmod motif mpeg ncurses nls ogg opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds pppd python qt readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vorbis xml xmms xorg xv zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_sunffb" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Actually i already nuked ~sparc KEYWORDS from the offending ebuilds the day before this was reported - basically when it was confirmed in the forums.
