I had the same today : >>> Install freevo-1.9.0 into /var/tmp/portage/media-tv/freevo-1.9.0/image/ category media-tv python2.7 setup.py install --root=/var/tmp/portage/media-tv/freevo-1.9.0/image/ --no-compile checking for kaa... found checking for kaa.metadata... found checking for kaa.imlib2... found checking for BeautifulSoup... found checking for pygame... found checking for Image... not found please download it from http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ and install it * ERROR: media-tv/freevo-1.9.0::gentoo failed (install phase): * Installation failed
In fact, when I installed dev-python/imaging, that's remove dev-python/pillow (pillow is a fork of imaging). Then I do "emerge freevo" again and I get : Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] media-tv/freevo-1.9.0 [ebuild N ] dev-python/pillow-2.0.0-r1 [blocks B ] dev-python/pillow ("dev-python/pillow" is blocking dev-python/imaging-1.1.7-r2) [blocks B ] dev-python/imaging ("dev-python/imaging" is blocking dev-python/pillow-2.0.0-r1) OK, so freevo don't work without imaging but it can't be installed without pillow that don't work with imaging.
