[gentoo-user] gstreamer or ffmeg - that's the question

[gentoo-user] gstreamer or ffmeg - that's the question

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,
the recent upgrade to Gnome 3.12.1 includes
app-misc/tracker-1.0 which forces me to decide between gstreamer and  
ffmpeg.
It says

   The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
     at-most-one-of ( gstreamer ffmpeg )

But many packages installed here depend on one of these.

What can I do about it and why can't I have both as previously.

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut

I think what the want you to do is put
app-misc/tracker -gstreamer
or 
app-misc/tracker -ffmpeg
into your /etc/portage/package.use file. I don't think that you can 
have both of the compiled into app-misc/tracker at the same time.

It's only asking you to choose which to use for app-misc/tracker, not 
globally.  Just change the USE for that individual package.

echo "app-misc/tracker gstreamer -ffmpeg" > /etc/portage/package.use/tracker

or

echo "app-misc/tracker -gstreamer ffmpeg" > /etc/portage/package.use/tracker
