In general, unmerging gstreamer-0.8 will cause other things linked to it to now not work, so I reckon you will suffer some fallout if you just unmerge it. A good safety net will be to look into the portage cache in /var/db/pkg, you will find a copy of the current gstreamer-0.8 ebuild you are using there. Copy it to your local overlay so you can remerge it if necessary. Do the same with any plugins that are also not in portage anymore Thank you all for the replies, greatly appreciated. Having followed your recommendations I found thet : emerge -Cp gstreamer showed only gstreamer-0.10. No matter what I tried, no way of unmerging -0.8.. I then added search mask in make.conf so that revdep-rebuild does not search /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8 and finally removed 0.8 manually. I've had to rebuild a couple of packages (for now) and all seems to be fine except I can no longer run tvtime, kdetv nor xawtv. xawtv reports: This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.23-gentoo-r9) WARNING: v4l-conf is compiled without DGA support. /dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway Warning: Cannot convert string -*-ledfixed-medium-r-*--39-*-*-*-c-*-*-* to type FontStruct libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b game over kdetv reports nothing and I can not stop the process. Even using top and k followed by PID of kdetv. I'm sure I have to rebuild something, just not quite sure what. I've re-emerged all three with no change.
