Thanks for your reply. revdep-rebuild -p did not return anything but maybe that's because I already tried reinstalling ivtv. I don't have genlop on my system. What ebuild does it come from? I seem to have resolved my problem. When I reinstalled ivtv, it picked up the newest version (0.4.2) since it was unmasked in my package.keywords. Reverting back to 0.4.0-r3 worked. I'm running 2.6.13-r5 kernel and maybe the newer ivtv isn't compatible with this kernel. Thanks, Drew -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Wait until ivtv is marked as stable in Gentoo. ;-) greetings Frederic Jaeckel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Cleaned Cruft and Broke ivtv - How to Fix?
I'm using Gentoo kernel 2.6.13-r5 kernel on a box whose primary purpose is MythTV. After upgrading to this kernel and reading about periodically cleaning cruft from systems, I followed some advice about doing something along the lines of 'emerge -depclean'. I thought everything was fine but now I suspect I was wrong. Just the other day, my machine (which has been functioning just fine for several weeks) locked up. After rebooting, known good video files in Myth freeze on the first frame. Audio plays just fine. Previous experience has shown me that this is caused by ivtv not being happy. For example, this behavior will occur after a kernel upgrade and then is fixed by emerging ivtv again. So I tried rebuilding ivtv but the problem persists. Thus I suspect I deleted something I shouldn't have with 'emerge -depclean'. Any suggestion on the best way to figure out what that something was and get things running again?
