aballier, does vlc use libltdl for loading plugins? if it does, you should apply this to src_install(): find "${ED}" -name '*.la' -exec sed -i -e "/^dependency_libs/s:=.*:='':" {} + if it doesn't, and they're simply useless, you should remove them instead. otherwise vlc will cause other packages to fail when libpng 1.5 hits ~arch
Fix your system so that no library used by vlc installs a .la file referencing libpng14 and your problem will be gone. Here it does not reference it.

As you can see from 9999, they will be gone with the next major release.

Explain to me why you think it's a hack. It sets dependency_libs to '' with one-liner to render the installed .la files harmless. VLC installs libvlc, therefore it can have reverse dependencies linking to it. Therefore it should be stopped here as well. > > if it doesn't, and they're simply useless, you should remove them instead. > As you can see from 9999, they will be gone with the next major release. Then good, letting this bug stay closed because of above.

Well... there's a couple of reasons: - libvlc links to (almost) nothing, so dependency_libs are a non issue - packages using libvlc should _not_ link to the plugins - I don't understand your argument about libltdl: as far as I know, it does load the dependency_libs, setting it to '' will just kill that feature - if you still think its a good idea, elibtoolize will be a better place to change this rather than after installing the package
