 * Please unmerge vlc-0.9.x first before installing vlc-1.0.0
 * If you don't do that, some plugins will get linked against
 * the old vlc version and will not work.

 * ERROR: media-video/vlc-1.0.0 failed.

media-video/vlc-1.0.0 should block previous versions in the dependencies rather than at build-time. Even if emerge isn't able to automatically resolve the blocker, this would enable the block to be manually resolved before build-time, preventing a world update from only partially completing.
Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-07-12 14:29:14 UTC 
vlc links at build time to the libraries of installed vlc and 2.2_rc33 of portage tries to handle it automatically leading the end result of vlc broken..

don't think it can be done
