media-video/ffmpeg multiple conflicting dependency problems

Message

I tried to update, and get the following error:

!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

media-video/ffmpeg:0

  ('ebuild', '/', 'media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r20', 'merge') pulled in by
    ('installed', '/', 'media-libs/libquicktime-1.0.2', 'nomerge')

  ('ebuild', '/', 'media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r3', 'merge') pulled in by
    ('ebuild', '/', 'media-video/vlc-0.8.6i', 'merge')

  ('installed', '/', 'media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080326', 'nomerge') pulled in by
    ('ebuild', '/', 'media-video/vlc-0.8.6i', 'merge')
    ('installed', '/', 'media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.13', 'nomerge')
    ('installed', '/', 'media-sound/sox-14.0.1', 'nomerge')
    (and 6 more)


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.

Currently installed is =media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080326 because I updated it. Before that, I had =media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r3 installed.

If I now want to update world, it tells me (besides others):

Code: Select all

[ebuild     UD] media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r20 [0.4.9_p20080326] USE="X a52 aac amr encode ieee1394 imlib ipv6 mmx network ogg%* oss%* sdl theora threads truetype v4l%* vorbis xvid zlib (-altivec) -debug -doc -test -x264 (-bindist%) (-hardcoded-tables%) (-mp3%*)" 0 kB
[ebuild     UD] media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r3 [0.4.9_p20080326] USE="X a52 aac amr encode ieee1394 imlib mmx network ogg%* oss%* sdl theora threads truetype v4l%* vorbis xvid zlib (-altivec) -debug -doc -test -x264 (-bindist%) (-hardcoded-tables%) (-ipv6%*) (-mp3%*)" 0 kB

How can it be that =media-video/vlc-0.8.6i pulls in two dependencies of the same package with different version which conflict each other (single slot...)?
How do I get rid of the problem?

package.keywords lists ~x86 for media-video/ffmpeg, but not for xine-lib, vlc or libquicktime, because some other tool I installed (can't remember right now, but I could check that out if it helps) had a dependency to the higher, masked version of ffmpeg.

Any hints/suggestions?

Edit: Additional: I tried to double-check if vlc *really* needs the two dependencies.
emerge -uNv media-video/vlc reveals:

Code: Select all

If you want to keep using ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080326, then you need to add all packages that depend on ffmpeg to package.keywords.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but this doesn't always seem to work. For example, my system is trying to pull in media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.0.17 (which appears to be the latest version) and the ebuild specifically asks for <media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080000. Thus, adding alsa-plugins to package.keywords doesn't seem to help. The only way I seem to be able to bypass this (if I want to keep using ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080326) is to mask media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.0.17.

Yes there are a few exceptions. You could also disable the ffmpeg useflag for alsa-plugins.

I am having a similar problem and have tried out various masks - but I don't seem to be able to resolve the issue.....

Here's the output from emerge:

Code: Select all

Calculating world dependencies -
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

media-video/ffmpeg:0

  ('installed', '/', 'media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070616-r20', 'nomerge') pulled in by
    ('installed', '/', 'media-libs/libquicktime-1.0.2', 'nomerge')

  ('ebuild', '/', 'media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080326', 'merge') pulled in by
    ('installed', '/', 'media-libs/mlt-0.2.4-r2', 'nomerge')
    ('ebuild', '/', 'media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.13', 'merge')
    ('installed', '/', 'media-sound/sox-14.0.1', 'nomerge')
    (and 1 more)

I tried to recompile libquicktime without ffmpeg use flag - another program showed up that seems to require ffmpeg-...-r20.
I also tried to update to the latest ffmpeg - did not help. I already have the latest versions of mlt and sox installed... and I can't mask these latest versions, as some other packages depend from them...

I added the following to /etc/portage/package.mask to allow the update.

Code: Select all

=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080326
=app-cdr/k3b-1.0.5-r2
=media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.10.4-r1

This is now resolved: alsa-plugins-1.0.17-r1 is patched to work with newer ffmpeg.

The error I stated above is still not resolved... and I was not sure what to look for on bugzilla... searching for ffmpeg resulted in a lot of bugs... is there anything I can do about it?

MAST · Post by **MAST** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 4:26 pm

I run into this problem too and I solved it by adding the following lines on my /etc/portage/package.keywords

Code: Select all

media-libs/libquicktime ~amd64
media-video/transcode ~amd64
app-cdr/k3b ~amd64

Apparently, I had some ebuilds on the unstable branch that were pulling such version of ffmpeg. However, as my system is on the stable branch (I got sick of the unstable branch months ago because of the problems), these ebuilds were pulling that version of ffmpeg. So, since I don't care having these packages on ~amd64 I put them into my package.keywords and the emerge worked like a charm.

Hope it helps...

Cheers!

Add media-libs/libquicktime to your package.keywords.

I tried this before, and it did not help, as there was no ~-version of libquicktime....
I solved the problem by getting rid of kdenlive, which was the package that pulled the ~-version of ffmpeg in (ultimately). Not very elegant, but as I did not need kdenlive anyway, it's doable.

funny enough.... might have been added recently....? Will try once I am back on my gentoo box.

Relevant part of the ChangeLog:

*libquicktime-1.0.3 (15 Jul 2008)

15 Jul 2008; Alexis Ballier <aballier@gentoo.org>
+libquicktime-1.0.3.ebuild:
version bump

*libquicktime-1.0.2_p20080621 (21 Jun 2008)

21 Jun 2008; Peter Alfredsen <loki_val@gentoo.org>
+libquicktime-1.0.2_p20080621.ebuild:
Bump to snapshot. Fixes 218101 wrt. libquicktime. Please wait for the
correct distfile to propagate.

20 Jun 2008; Alexis Ballier <aballier@gentoo.org>
libquicktime-1.0.2.ebuild:
ffmpeg plugin will not be built if we are usingg too recent ffmpeg, adjust
deps accordingly

So, since almost 2 months (July 21st) there has been an ~arch version (1.0.2_p20080621, and later 1.0.3) available.
