In addition to Alan's answer, note here that the above output lists
media-video/ffmpeg and also virtual/ffmpeg.
Unless you only installed ffmpeg for the first time recently then I'd guess you
originally installed media-video/ffmpeg (and that's what you have in your world
file).
If you were to install ffmpeg today you would install virtual/ffmpeg instead,
which is provided by either media-video/ffmpeg or media-video/libav.
Best thing to do is to remove video/ffmpeg from world in favour of
virtual/ffmpeg so that Portage can work things out for itself.
Stroller.
