Hi, 

Thanks for your reply, let's see if we can solve this.

Let's start by the libquicktime and quicktime4linux problem. I had:
[blocks B     ] media-libs/libquicktime ("virtual/quicktime" from pkg
media-libs/quicktime4linux-2.0.0-r1)
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/quicktime4linux-2.0.0-r1 [1.6.2]

I had something in the virtuals file about this, but when someone from
here referenced the virtuals file I just deleted the whole line
referencing this packages so I don't have it anymore and I still get
this.

So I did:
emerge -C
/var/db/pkg/media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.2/libquicktime-0.9.2.ebuild

And now I have:
[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.2
[ebuild     U ] media-libs/quicktime4linux-2.0.0-r1 [1.6.2]

If I do this, it runs without problem but then I'll go back to the start
(with the block problem), so I'll not do this.

The search returns:

euler root # grep libquicktime `find /var/db/pkg/* | grep ebuild`
/var/db/pkg/media-libs/quicktime4linux-1.6.2/quicktime4linux-1.6.2.ebuild:     
!media-libs/libquicktime"
/var/db/pkg/media-libs/quicktime4linux-1.6.2/quicktime4linux-1.6.2.ebuild:     
dolib.so `uname -m`/libquicktime.so
/var/db/pkg/media-libs/quicktime4linux-1.6.2/quicktime4linux-1.6.2.ebuild:     dolib.a 
 `uname -m`/libquicktime.a

It means nothing to me, checked the ebuild and saw nothing strange, let
me try to emerge -C quicktime4linux also and see what happens.

euler root # emerge -C
/var/db/pkg/media-libs/quicktime4linux-1.6.2/quicktime4linux-1.6.2.ebuild

Now with: emerge -uDp world I get only:
[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/libquicktime-0.9.2

which is nice since it's not asking me to install quicktime4linux.
So let me emerge this: emerge libquicktime

Ok, it seems to be fixed. No quicktime4linux showing up. And a line
showed up in virtuals file. Nice. :D

Now, solving the gnome-themes, gtk-engines-mist problems. Let's search
for it with grep:
grep gtk-engines-mist `find /var/db/pkg/* | grep ebuild`

Ok, it shows up:
/var/db/pkg/x11-themes/gtk-themes-2.0-r2/gtk-themes-2.0-r2.ebuild:     
=x11-themes/gtk-engines-mist-0.8-r2

This is the problem. :( It seems I have to choose between these too...
However, I would like to have both! gtk-themes is for gnome users also,
if gnome users NEED to have gnome-themes, or else it won't work, there's
no much sense in not letting them have gtk-themes also. :( Well, I'll
emerge -C gtk-themes for now then! If there is any good idea about this,
I'll be glad to hear about it! (unless the gnome-themes have the themes
included in gtk-themes and this gtk-themes is only for non-gnome users)

Ok now, solved! On to the eclipse-platform-bin search:
euler root # grep eclipse-platform-bin `find /var/db/pkg/* | grep
ebuild`
/var/db/pkg/dev-util/eclipse-ftp-webdav-bin-2.0/eclipse-ftp-webdav-bin-2.0.ebuild:DEPEND="=dev-util/eclipse-platform-bin-2.0*"
/var/db/pkg/dev-util/eclipse-sdk-2.1.2/eclipse-sdk-2.1.2.ebuild:#      
!dev-util/eclipse-platform-bin
/var/db/pkg/dev-util/eclipse-jdt-bin-2.1/eclipse-jdt-bin-2.1.ebuild:DEPEND="=dev-util/eclipse-platform-bin-2.1*"
/var/db/pkg/dev-util/eclipse-cdt-bin-20030501/eclipse-cdt-bin-20030501.ebuild:DEPEND="=dev-util/eclipse-platform-bin-2.1*"

Ok, now I understand but it's not much sense unless eclipse-sdk already
has eclipse-cdt, jdt and eclipse-ftp-webdav.
Well, I'll unemerge these, I like to see my emerge -uDp world as clean
as possible. :)

Ok, now it's cool... Now, on to the last problem, why is it trying to
install:
[ebuild  N    ] dev-games/simgear-0.3.4
[ebuild  N    ] games-simulation/flightgear-0.9.3

let's search:
euler root # grep simgear `find /var/db/pkg/* | grep ebuild`
euler root # grep flightgear `find /var/db/pkg/* | grep ebuild`
/var/db/pkg/games-util/atlas-0.2.2/atlas-0.2.2.ebuild:DEPEND=">=flightgear-0.8.0

Got it, unemerging atlas solves the problem!
Everything seems so nice now, THANKS A LOT! :D

I'm lovin' it!!!!!!

:)

Best regards,

Paulo Matos
