Can't install VLC & virtualbox[solved]

[Adel Ahmed]

I'm having a really hard time installing software on Gentoo, any help would be appreciated
I'm using Gnome as a graphical desktop environment, I'm new to gentoo so I probably did not supply enough information, I'm doing my best though
This is what I get when i type "emerge vlc":
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.use: ffmpeg
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.use: skins

* IMPORTANT: 5 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news to read news items.

The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by media-video/vlc-2.0.3, required by vlc (argument)
>=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.7 minizip

Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring CONFIG_PROTECT).


and this is what I get when i type "emerge virtualbox-bin", I have already installed vbox and vbox modules:
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.use: ffmpeg
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.use: skins

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

app-emulation/virtualbox-modules:0

(app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.2.0-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
~app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.2.0 required by (app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-4.2.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)

(app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.1.22::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
~app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.1.22 required by (app-emulation/virtualbox-4.1.22::gentoo, installed)


It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.


help is greatly appreciated

Ah thanks, that was very helpful, I have finally installed vbox

I've also been able to install vlc by using the emerge --autounmask-write option
