Most likely avidemux and mplayer have hidden automagic dependencies on x264 |
| 53 |
but they are not listed in DEPEND. So the packages need x264 but portage |
| 54 |
doesn't know this. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Try unmerge the whole lot and re-merge everything. This should un-confuse |
| 57 |
portage. Or you can fire out your trusty vi and fiddle with the contents of |
| 58 |
/var/lib/portage/preserved_libs_registry |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
If you have time and inclination, you can run ldd on each file listed in the |
| 61 |
"used by" lines and search for "not found". Eyeballs should reveal what is |
| 62 |
going on. |
