Your problem is
Code:
<media-video/ffmpeg-5 required by (media-video/vlc-3.0.18-r3:0/5-9::gentoo, installed)


One way to avoid this problem is to install vlc with USE=-vaapi.

sam_,

I'd been meaning to write the following for some time:

Could the current conflict output be made "verbose" mode, and the default instead be (using the above listing):
Code:
WARNING: One or more updates/rebuilds have been skipped due to a dependency conflict:

media-video/ffmpeg
  media-video/ffmpeg-6.0-r9 conflicts with
    >=media-video/ffmpeg-3.1.3 required by media-video/vlc-3.0.18-r3
    <media-video/ffmpeg-5 required by media-video/vlc-3.0.18-r3
    >=media-video/ffmpeg-4.4 required by media-video/mpv-9999
    media-video/ffmpeg required by media-libs/opencv-4.8.0-r1
    >=media-video/ffmpeg-2.7 required by media-video/ffmpegthumbnailer-2.2.2-r1
    media-video/ffmpeg required by media-video/pipewire-0.3.80
    media-video/ffmpeg required by kde-apps/ffmpegthumbs-23.08.3
    media-video/ffmpeg required by kde-frameworks/kfilemetadata-5.112.0
    >=media-video/ffmpeg-2.4 required by media-libs/ffmpegsource-2.40-r2
    >=media-video/ffmpeg-4 required by media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav-1.22.3

possibly adding "installed" or "to be merged"?

I feel the current torrent of information just obscures the problem for the majority of users first off. We can always run "-v" if needed. (I know, you'll end up having to prompt people to do it half the time!)

It could also add that removing or adding "~arch" might resolve some of these conflicts. That's a guess, but I get a similar list, and I suspect some of the entries are down to me having a small number of packages (such as firefox) in ~arch.

Goverp, I quite like this idea! I'm always interested in practical output improvements (believe me, I know the whole thing could do with more radical stuff, but practical suggestions like this where it doesn't involve a huge amount of work are great, and I suspect there's a lot more of that kind of low hanging fruit).

I think this should work - we'll need to check whether any USE conflicts are involved and either fall back to the more verbose mode or adjust the output, but this is a solid idea nonetheless.

Would you mind filing a bug for this please?
