Bug 489694 changes pysolfc dependency from imaging to pillow. However, pillow is !disallowed by imaging. Thus I am in a bind because media-sound/decibel-audio-player explicitly requires imaging, so I cannot have both packages on one system? Further, not sure of pysol status with respect to 489646 or if pillow also fixed that problem. Reproducible: Always
the referenced bug is totally unrelated
dev-python/imaging is obsolete. Time to move on.
If it is time to "move on" then what becomes of decibel-audio-player which is stable? Calculating dependencies... done!

either it can use pillow and the ebuild should be updated or it will eventually be masked and punted.
