9 Although I'm a firm advocate of those patches, partly due to the fact that
10 I wrote them ;-), I don't think that they will work for this case because
11 this issue doesn't deal with USE flags/keywords, but specific package
12 version. I'd say try to hunt around for a patch to Nvrec that will make it
13 compatible with a new divx4linux, otherwise either nvrec or later versions
14 divx4linux should be masked until a solution is found.
