The steps below demonstrate the situation. xine-lib is installed and working (as I have kaffeine running fine), but it's version 1.0 not -rc4 that codeine searches for. I receive the same result/output for my custom codeine-beta2 ebuild. # qpkg -q -I xine-lib media-libs/xine-lib-1.0 * ... # emerge -u codeine Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) media-video/codeine-1.0_beta1 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) codeine-1.0-beta1.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking codeine-1.0-beta1.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/codeine-1.0_beta1/work >>> Source unpacked.
