Packages constantly requiring rebuild [solved]

For a few weeks now, every time I run emerge -uND world, the same several packages require an "rR" rebuild. I have rebuilt them, in some cases, 3 times in a single day... Something must be wrong, but I don't know how to figure out what.

The packages are:
kde-plasma/kpipwire
media-libs/opencv
kde-apps/ffmpegthumbs
net-misc/freerdp:3
net-miscfreerdp:2
media-video/vlc
media-sound/mpd
media-libs/mlt

Usually, when there's an "r", there's a note at the end of the package list indicating which package is triggering the rebuild. There is no such output for these. How can I figure what's triggering the rebuild, and get these resolved?

add pv to the parameters and there should be visible changes to the any of the flags of the listed packages.

Can you post full emerge output?

That was all of it, until I realized that I had --quiet as part of my default options.

Once I took that out, there was a note about not being able to upgrade to ffmpeg 6 because kodi-19 required ffmpeg 4.

After uninstalling kodi as a test, then the next build decided to upgrade ffmpeg, and listed the above packages as needing to be rebuilt because of the ffmpeg change. So I think I've got it figured out now.

Just a quick update. Everything's sorted now.

The actual culprit tunred out to be that kodi-inputstream-adaptive was in my world (rather than kodi itself), which was keeping kodi on version 19, and thus ffmpeg on version 4.

Once I uninstalled kodi-inputstream-adaptive, kodi was able to upgrade to 20 (and 21, which must have reached the tree today), and ffmpeg could go to 6. And now nothing is getting rebuilt over and over.

Instead of putting --quiet in your default options, perhaps --quiet-build would suffice. This hides the individual build logs, but does not make Portage's plans quiet.
