Multiple versions within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: media-libs/win32codecs:0 ('installed', '/', 'media-libs/win32codecs-20071007-r4', 'nomerge') pulled in by ('installed', '/', 'media-libs/realcodecs-11.0.1.1056', 'nomerge') @world ('ebuild', '/', 'media-libs/win32codecs-20071007-r4', 'merge') pulled in by ('ebuild', '/', 'media-video/vlc-0.9.6', 'merge') ('ebuild', '/', 'media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725-r1', 'merge') @world It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. Are they doing some kind of strange reorg or what? HOw can I fix this? Thanks. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici covici@ccs.covici.com
