The dvdrip ebuild for the DVD::Rip software requires cdrtools and cdrtools and dvdrtools mutually block each other. dvdrtools is needed to burn DVDs and contains the same software as cdrtools enhanced for DVD creation/burning. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: There are no real steps. If you want to, you can emerge -v dvdrtools and then emerge -pv dvdrip to see the blocking issue. Expected Results: The dvdrip ebuild should work just as well with dvdrtools as well as cdrtools (though I have not verified this yet). In that case, dvdrip should require *either* cdrtools or dvdrtools, and if one is present, deem that dependency resolved. # emerge info Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-linux/x86/2004.2, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.4.26-gentoo-r5 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.26-gentoo-r5 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 1700+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-r3 Headers: sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.19-r1,sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.21-r1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks fixpackages sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://brunell.jasonpfeil.com/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X Xaw3d aalib acl acpi apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo cdr crypt cups curl doc dvd dvdr emacs encode esd ethereal evo fam fastcgi fbcon flac flash foomaticdb fortran gb gd gdbm ggi gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 java jikes jpeg kde kerberos lcms ldap libgda libwww mad maildir mbox mcal memlimit mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg mysql nas ncurses nls odbc oggvorbis opengl oss pam pda pdflib perl plotutils png python qt quicktime readline ruby samba sasl scanner sdl slang slp speex spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype usb wmf xface xml xml2 xmms xosd xv zlib"
I filed a catchall report for these at: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77817
thanks for the report. fixed for dvdrip*
