I was able to install other applications without issue, but this is blocking pretty much any media playback due to various things depending on ffmpeg being rebuilt to relink against other basic libraries.
I have no idea either - relaying to paludis package maintainers.
Adding spb@gentoo.org as CC, because they seem to be the one most associated with filed bugs that match a search for paludis; and I have no idea how to find the package maintainer either. Hopefully they're either who we're looking for, or have the knowledge of how to find them.
It still shows the same dependencies, but I thought of trying the same thing I did to get the other library to install and it worked to allow me to force ffmpeg to build. paludis -i --dl-blocks discard ffmpeg This is a workaround, not a resolution; there's still something wrong that should be resolved.

This was actually more of an extension than I realized. It seems that 'discard' is actually more like 'ignore'. The problem is the lack of a clear (and hopefully automatic) upgrade path when packages are split-up to different names. Probably at least a paludis news item is in order. paludis -u sys-libs/ss sys-libs/com_err reconcilio ------- Comment #38 From Michael Evans 2008-08-21 11:50:36 0000 ------- Paludis steps that work: Verify ONLY the two blocks mentioned above exist for this. paludis -ip e2fsprogs-libs (The second is optional) paludis --dl-blocks discard -if e2fsprogs-libs paludis --dl-blocks discard -ip e2fsprogs-libs paludis --dl-blocks discard -i e2fsprogs-libs
