Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-08-14 13:32:52 UTC
Your output doesn't list any app-emulation/emul-* packages. It looks like a conflict between media-video/libav and media-video/ffmpeg, so why does the Summary mention emul?
Comment 3 tman 2013-08-14 14:52:00 UTC
the problem is i am using smplayer2 and vlc, both ask for libav. it install there for also:  virtual/ffmpeg-9.


unfortunatelly app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs-20130224-r12 required media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.10.13_p201211-r1 and it cause a conflict, because it need media-video/ffmpeg-1.2.2.

whats the solution in this case? can we have a USE ffmpeg or libab for smplayer2, mplayer2, vlc... and let other packages depends all on  virtual/ffmpeg ?


would this solve the conflict?

Comment 4 Jason Lamb 2013-08-14 14:58:40 UTC
On my system update, the update from app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs-20130224-r11 to app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs-20130224-r12 pulled in media-video/ffmpeg-0.10.8, as a new dependency, as per the changelog;

http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs/ChangeLog

This was done on my system which has libav and postproc installed. On the next system update, my system wanted to upgrade to the latest media-video/ffmpeg-1.2.2, and it's then that when all the ffmpeg/libav blocking conflict appeared, as in the bug report.

I'm worked around this issue by putting app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs-20130224-r11.ebuild in my local overlay and forcing the downgrade, and then masking app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs-20130224-r12.

The question is, will app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs-20130224 be updated to work with media-video/libav as well?
Comment 5 tman 2013-08-14 15:38:22 UTC
finally a confirmation of my problem.

my emerge -uDN world stuck now because this problem of: app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-medialibs-20130224-r12 and libav and ffmpeg.

i hope some dev could solve this as soon as possible.
Comment 6 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2013-08-15 07:52:27 UTC
I guess we need to get libav supporting multilib too
Comment 7 Alexis Ballier gentoo-dev 2013-08-15 16:46:08 UTC
I specifically made sure ffmpeg:0.10 could be installed in parallel with both libav-9 and ffmpeg-1.2 so I don't think the problem is with emul-*
This was made because the current bundled ffmpeg version in emul-* is a security hazard; ffmpeg 0.10.8, while not perfect, is much better and ABI compatible.

The real solution is of course to convert libav and ffmpeg:0 and all its rev. deps to multilib but this will take much more time; look at usemasks for ffmpeg-0.10 in base/package.use.mask and then the reverse dependencies need to be rebuilt since the abi changed.
Comment 8 tman 2013-08-15 20:43:13 UTC
can u please explain exactly the work around for the moment?
Comment 9 Alexis Ballier gentoo-dev 2013-08-15 22:29:22 UTC
I don't know

try to rebuild:
media-video/mplayer2-2.0_p20130428-r1, media-video/vlc-2.0.7 and media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.10.13_p201211-r1

those certainly don't need ffmpeg:0 and work with libav, contrary to what portage suggests
Comment 10 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2013-08-15 23:08:15 UTC
I think portage simply tries to be smart and, well, upgrade ffmpeg :P.
Comment 11 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2013-08-15 23:09:31 UTC
Alternatively, you could have one package with ffmpeg-only dep and some others with || deps. Then, portage will those || along with ffmpeg-only. That's why || deps suck and we need a good virtual/ffmpeg instead.

See my comment. Those that pull ffmpeg shouldn't.

> Then, portage will those || along with ffmpeg-only.
> That's why || deps suck and we need a good virtual/ffmpeg instead.

any kind of virtual will not help with this; you have the same with virtual/jpeg and firefox[system-jpeg]. I don't follow your reasoning on || deps, a virtual is just a (useless) level of indirection for a ||. a simplification in most cases, but for some packages, considering the divergence between ffmpeg and libav, its just not worth it now.
Comment 13 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2013-08-15 23:58:27 UTC
The indirection makes it helpful.

If you have 20 packages using the virtual, and 1 using ffmpeg directly, portage will tell that ffmpeg is pulled in by the one package + virtual.

if you have 20 packages using || and 1 using ffmpeg directly, portage will tell you that ffmpeg is pulled by all (most) of them. Enjoy reading the deps then.

comment #1 and comment #3 are not like that it seems; and in any case, this just sounds like a portage limitation than anything else.

Try masking ffmpeg:0 like this:

  echo media-video/ffmpeg:0 >> /etc/portage/package.mask

Also, verify that media-libs/libpostproc is not masked:

  emerge -pv media-libs/libpostproc

That could be the case if there's anything that has a media-video/ffmpeg dependency which is currently satisfied by the media-video/ffmpeg:0.10 slot but could also be satisfied by the media-video/ffmpeg:0 slot. If that "upgrade" causes media-video/ffmpeg:0 to get pulled into the graph, then it can affect the dependency choices for || ( media-libs/libpostproc media-video/ffmpeg:0 ) deps from other packages, causing them to choose the media-video/ffmpeg:0 instead of media-libs/libpostproc because media-video/ffmpeg:0 happens to be in the graph already.

That's weird. I changed all rev deps to ffmpeg:0 before committing this, but then maybe portage was using vdb which did have the :0 ?

No, I think all is well there.

However, I have no idea why ffmpeg:0 got pulled in. If someone can produce a debug log that reproduces the problem, then it may give us a clue as to how ffmpeg:0 initially got pulled in:

   emerge [args] --debug > debug.log 2>&1

Does it make any difference if you rebuild media-libs/libpostproc?

   emerge --oneshot media-libs/libpostproc

The first sign of trouble is right here where it selects Candidates: ['media-video/ffmpeg:0'] for some reason:

Just in case I added the portage debug log which was generated after rebuilding media-libs/libpostproc.

Yeah it still has the same problem starting here:

Comment 26 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2013-08-16 23:57:55 UTC
I'm not sure if there's a good way to separate the || ( libpostproc ffmpeg:0 ) case from the || ( vala:0.20 vala:0.18 ) case in bug #478188.

If we have to choose between fixing one or the other, maybe bug #478188 should take precedence because it seems like it might be a slightly more common case.

it'd be much better if there was no choice to make:
- the vala case is indeed much more common
- this precise case is supposed to be temporary, but I would expect it to be around for a couple of months at least
- the vala case can be solved by manually updraging vala
- this case will always ask you to install ffmpeg unless you mask it


one idea: the || ( libpostproc ffmpeg:0 ) dep is, strictly speaking, wrong since it needs the indirect dependencies of libpostproc.
would: || ( ( libav libpostproc ) ffmpeg:0 ) help portage ? in this case, it is clear that no branch is an update of another one. Or maybe, just making libpostproc depend on libav instead of virtual/ffmpeg.

The current logic is such that portage will still see the ffmpeg:0 branch as an upgrade relative to ffmpeg:0.10. So your suggested change won't help.

> Or maybe, just making libpostproc depend on libav instead of virtual/ffmpeg.

That won't help either.

One thing that would help would be to put libpostproc on the left. As you can see in the debug output posted in comment #22, in the media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg deps, libpostproc is on the right and ffmpeg:0 is on the left. If that order were swapped, then portage would prefer libpostproc.

for gst-ffmpeg I think it makes more sense to have libav/libpostproc first since that's what upstream is using; feel free to change it, but that won't solve entirely the problem since there are others for which it doesnt make sense to have it first.
Comment 30 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2013-08-21 18:45:23 UTC
I should be able to tweak the ordering logic so that it prefers libpostproc due to it being installed already. It is distinguishable from the || ( vala:0.20 vala:0.18 ) case because there's no ${CATEGORY}/${PN} intersection between the || ( ffmpeg:0 libpostproc ) choices.
Comment 32 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2013-08-22 04:50:47 UTC

    should only be pulled in with --update and --deep, add a want_update
    flag to each choice which is True for choices that pull in a new slot
    for which an update is desirable.
    
    Mark the test case for bug 480736 as todo, since the "undesirable"
    slot upgrade which triggers a blocker conflict in this test case is
    practically indistinguishable from a desirable slot upgrade. This
    particular blocker conflict is no longer relevant, since current
    versions of media-libs/libpostproc are no longer compatible with
    any available media-video/ffmpeg slot. In order to solve this test
    case, some fancy backtracking (like for bug 382421) will be required.
