Here is what I am getting.
[blocks B ] media-libs/libungif (is blocking media-libs/giflib-4.1.4)
When trying to emerge -uaDv world to get my system up to date.
I have an ~amd64 xorg but I don't think that has anything to do with my
problem. This was necessary to get rid of my blacked out OO-2.0
icons which was just mostly an annoyance. Also, I don't have
USE=gif under my /etc/make.conf file anymore and I still seem to be
having this problem. I have to run libungif as all my media is
built around mplayer and it simply won't run on the giflib
libraries. This just popped up within the last two days worth of
--sync. I have even tried to rebuild using NEWUSE but even that
seems to give me the blocked package issue.
Strangeness. I know I could probably add media-libs/giflib to my
blocked packages list but this seems like a band-aid fix and I would
like to find the root (no pun intended) of my problem.
Thanks for any help.
