Please post the output of revdep-rebuild -p -i |

Do these various packages require specifically gstreamer-0.8? If so, |
| 14 |
that is a bug and should be rpeorted at b.g.o. In general, unmerging |
| 15 |
gstreamer-0.8 will cause other things linked to it to now not work, so |
| 16 |
I reckon you will suffer some fallout if you just unmerge it. |

A good safety net will be to look into the portage cache in /var/db/pkg, |
| 19 |
you will find a copy of the current gstreamer-0.8 ebuild you are using |
| 20 |
there. Copy it to your local overlay so you can remerge it if |
| 21 |
necessary. Do the same with any plugins that are also not in portage |
| 22 |
anymore |
