Hi,
I happily use Xine for all my video needs, but a routine # emerge sync then # emerge -pu --deep world suggests I [N ] mplayer ... why the heck would that happen?
thanks. |

So, if you do an emerge -up world, it doesn't suggest mplayer? If it doesn't, then it is possible some other package has mplayer as a dependency.
For example:
| Code: |
# emerge media-video/transcode -p

Thanks for the reply, but my question about that is "if it's a dep, why wasnt it installed with the thing that needs it?"
It's a simple world update, after an emerge sync, and suddenly it says I need a [N] (new) install of Mplayer.
I just dont see it. |

One way to answer that question is to figure out which ebuild wants to install it. qpkg from the gentoolkit might find it. What are the results of:
Does it list any package(s) you have installed? (in green)

Nothing that I have installed was listed by # qpkg -q mplayer
sh-2.05b$ qpkg -q mplayer

Looks like the same output I have, but it doesn't ask to install mplayer.  Did the emerge -up --deep world want to upgrade anything else?
Maybe a new upgraded ebuild (hot from rsync) now requires mplayer, and it didn't before. Something is asking for it, I would think.
Some of my last ideas.
| Code: |
# grep mplayer /var/cache/edb/world
# grep -r mplayer /var/cache/edb/dep/*

Yes, it wanted to install a [N] libungif as well as an [U] for the security hole in CVS.
I went ahead and updated CVS, of course, but i thought I'd come in here and let someone know that something is screwey about deps and mplayer as of yesterday. |
