Hi,

while doing an emerge -U world the compilation of xine-lib stopped:
 
* Please uninstall older xine libraries.
* The compilation cannot procede.


This can also be found as Bug 19409. (WONTFIX)
So an emerge -U world will NOT complete. Also, xine-lib-0.9.13-r3 
is installed as dependency of pornview, the next emerge -U or 
installation of xine-ui will try to install xine-lib-1-beta12 
(which will not complete). 

So:
* pornview does not work (xine-lib problems)
* Xine-ui can not be installed without emerge -C
* emerge -U functionality is broken when xine-lib is installed.

1) How did this slip through QA?
2) What is the official policy on breaking emerge -U ? I thought that's a big no-no?
3) Why is a bug that I'd consider a BLOCKER only WONTFIX ?

I hope nobody feels flamed, but this behaviour has existed for some time, and it's 
not what a normal user would want to work around. I unmerged xine-lib a few times 
because that's the easiest workaround !?

Unfortunately there are packages that have issues with existing libs. Parts of 
that are caused by libtool and can often be fixed by the libtool.eclass 
elibtoolize function. I don't know why xine-lib blocks, and I believe that a 
fix would be wanted, but in some cases such a thing is the only option.

Me too, it's an excellent viewer.  0.2.0_pre1 works fine with 
xine-lib-1_beta12.
