Sometimes I think I'm the only gnome fan in this wild jungle of kde users,
pardon my paranoia.
Anyway, I went through the same problem with totem on my ~x86 and ~amd64
machines a few months ago, and now I've just hit it again on my last amd64
(gentoo-stable) machine because gnome-2.32.x just made the 'stable' list.
The totem package fails to build for reasons I could have explained in great
detail two months ago because I actually read through the ebuild and the totem
config files and I finally concluded (for reasons I forgot almost instantly)
that totem-2.32.0 won't build while the X server is running.
No, don't be silly, of course I don't remember why.
If you want to update totem to 2.32.0 you must log out of your gnome session
and emerge totem from a boring old command prompt.
Only then may you resume your life as a gentoo gnome, like moi.
