I've been there, done that Niel. Just to satisfy curiosity and to have code to post, I removed the ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r again and did: emerge -p kino These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r1 USE="X encode mmx ogg oss sdl truetype vorbis zlib -a52 -aac (-altivec) -amr -debug -doc -ieee1394 -imlib -network -test -theora -threads -v4l -x264 -xvid" [ebuild N ] media-libs/libdv-1.0.0-r2 USE="sdl xv -debug" [ebuild N ] media-libs/libiec61883-1.1.0 USE="-examples" [ebuild N ] media-video/dvdauthor-0.6.11 [ebuild N ] media-sound/rawrec-0.9.98 [ebuild N ] media-video/kino-1.0.0 USE="alsa dvdr quicktime vorbis -gpac -sox" [blocks B ] >media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070525 (is blocking media-video/kino-1.0.0) Like you said, kino wants a later vervion than -0.4.9_p20070525 so it tries to pull ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r but the block persists. If I can't solve this soon I'll try the masked kino. -- Regards, Ernie -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
