Trying to emerge World has strange unmet requirements

Hello!

I tried to update my system with 'emerge --sync' followed by 'emerge -pu world'. The latter returns this:

It looks like you've got both or neither gstreamer and xine installed, with attendent USE flags, and tracker wants to see exactly one of them.

If you've got neither installed, add either gstreamer or xine to your USE flags in /etc/portage/make.conf. If you've got both installed, pick one of them and add something like this to /etc/portage/package.use:

Hmm... true. I add 'xine' to make.conf (I had xinerama also there, I guess it's something different), however emerge returns the same about 'networkmanager':

Oh crud! You're really caught in the gnome-3.8 stabilization mess. This is a much bigger problem than I thought. A lot of people are having problems with this upgrade, I'd start looking at more of the recent threads for more info.

For my part, I'm planning to block gnome-3.8 and systemd, I just haven't gotten around to it, yet. There are multiple threads on that process, as well.

Ouch!

Well, that's an approach that sounds attractive for me as well atm. What other options do I have?

yeah, for some reason, there is much gnome stuff pulled in. To track this down, can yoou try to install xine?

Absolutely!

You mean 'xine-ui', right? Or perhaps 'xine-lib'? Because there is no plain 'xine' package from what I see here...

Actually I believe it's either libxine or xine-lib. You could do "emerge -ptv xine-ui" and see what it pulls in. Other applications will use xine-lib, (or whatever) xine-ui is just what you use when running it standalone.

The above command pulls in only xine-ui, which I installed and it runs properly... No conflicts.

just a stupid question: do you have gnome stuff already installed, or is this new stuff on your system?

Yep, I do!

Gnome-about says: 2.32.1

then you should better stick to the gnome-3.8 upgrading or masking threads. there are some already

Do you mean to wait until the whole issue is resolved?

yeah, would be best. I'm no expert on either gnome nor systemd, becuase I haven't one or the other. What I have read in some other threads is, that gnome-3.8 definitely needs systemd, so enabling the useflag globally should be easiest. and according to your posts, maybe pulseaudio is also needed and should be enabled, but i'm not sure about that.
also switching to systemd seems to make sometimes trouble, but I just saw the thread captions, didn't read them.
so, good luck...

Do not know whether this is useful to somebody.

During a fresh install of ubuntu, I ran in the same problem when compiling gnome.

I tried adding the flags "-xine +gstreamer", it failed.

Then I tried the opposite: "xine -gstreamer", it worked!

Not really. It did not work one step later:
