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? |
