Michael,
   Thanks for writing back. Yes, you are right about that, and I'm sorry
I didn't communicate that earlier. However, my issue was that if I have
xine-dvdnav installed for any reason (as I do) and portage tries to do
an update, then isn't portage going to break my xine-lib installation?

(Please note that dvdnav is causing a NEW xine-lib installation to
happen over an existing one...)

Wizard root # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p xine-lib xine-dvdnav
xine-ui

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc3-r1  
[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/xine-lib-0.9.13-r3  
[ebuild   R   ] media-plugins/xine-dvdnav-0.9.13  
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/xine-ui-0.9.23  

Wizard root # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p xine-lib  xine-ui

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc3-r1  
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/xine-ui-0.9.23  

Wizard root # 

In the example above, since I have xinedvdnav installed, isn't portage
going to break my xine-lib-1_rc3 installation by writing over it, or
changing links?

This all just looks like it's a problem waiting to happen. 

Is there an emerge or etcat command (or any othre program) that will
tell me what packages I have installed that depend on xine-dvdnav, so I
can safely uninstall it?

Thanks,
Mark
