Yes, like said, at some point you cannot prevent that. Remember when I |
| 9 |
bumped libvpx to v1.8.0 and people yelled at me because they are now |
| 10 |
seeing that message all the time (If you are using gnome you probably |
| 11 |
know the same msg which triggers for unicode stuff which I am also |
| 12 |
responsible for) because I bumped that package but not everything |
| 13 |
supports that version yet? |

It's just a hint. Not a problem. If you don't understand that hint I |
| 16 |
can't help. It doesn't force user interaction like a mask do. |

If you understand the problem, you will locally mask >=libvpx-1.8 and |
| 19 |
message will go away. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
And again: If this will really solve problems, why is anyone allowed to |
| 22 |
take over those package like I did for sabnzbd? If you are right and |
| 23 |
this is really a problem for Gentoo I shouldn't be allowed to do that. |
| 24 |
And *then* we would also have a reason to mask :-) |
