(Yes about --oneshot) The choice of ffmpeg vs libav seems non-deterministic ?? I have a shell open directly on the machine e6510 and am ssh'ed into e6510 from another machine On the direct shell two successive runs of e6510 ~ # emerge --update --changed-use --deep @world (I have EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ask --deep --tree --verbose --jobs --load-average=5") gave different results. The first one gave the error msg about libav and ffmpeg conflicting; the second gave no error and is ready to go. I looked at the tree output and see that the successful one has an uninstall of libav right before the install line for ffmpeg. The unsuccessful one does not have that line. On the ssh shell, the first few tries gave the conflict error msg; but then one succeeded (again proposing to uninstall libav). Perhaps the dependency search uses multiple threads?? Since I must choose between libav and ffmpeg, I will use the choice that portage (sometimes) makes and run the successful emerge command, i.e. say yes to the question from --ask. Is this nondeterminism documented or have I done something wrong. Thanks for your help. allan
