Whenever I try update world (emerge -upD world) I get the following blocker: [blocks B ] media-libs/libquicktime ("virtual/quicktime" from pkg media-libs/openquicktime-1.0-r1) I have tried removing libquicktime, but it's a dependency from some package and I have the same blocker after new emerge of libquicktime.

show the entire output of `emerge world -up` so we can see what pkg is at fault

This might be related to the transcode openquicktime dependency? See bug #30196
I think this blocker wants to tell you that you can't have libquicktime and openquicktime at once.
I have openquicktime and libquicktime installed, because of transcoder I guess. This means this bug is a dup of bug 30196, I'll close it. Thanks for your help *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 30196 ***
