Hi there,
With an `emerge -pv world` today I've noticed an anomaly with vlv &
ffmpeg. It initially came up with a portage message which reported
AFAIR a package would be slotted for the first time. I uninstalled
vlc just for the moment, and upgraded ffmpeg to the latest version.
Still I see this problem:
901 ~ $ emerge -pv ffmpeg
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I would (obviously) prefer not to have two different versions of
ffmpeg on my system, and you'll see that the version pulled in by vlc
has the mp3 USE flag forcibly disabled. I don't know that I've ever
actually used vlc, so this is probably unimportant, but I'd like to
have it installed just in case I want to stream video around the
house in the future. Does anyone know if there's a workaround for this?
Cheers,
Stroller.
