[gentoo-user] Emerge -aDvu world stopped by media-sound/xmms

[Kevin O'Gorman]

After the latest emerge-sync portage ends up in an illegal state, and
I'm not sure how to
proceed.  Error message follows, but first a few notes:
1)  I have and occasionally use media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre8 which is
not masked.
2)  I generally run stable.
3)  I had, but unmerged kicker-applets, but that did not help
4)  I had, but unmerged, media-sound/xmms-1.2.10-r15, but that did not
help either.
5)  I would change to an alternative to mplayer if it would help and I
knew what it was.


These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Add --newuse to include and rebuild packages that used to have an xmms
USE flag (which is now masked).
