1 Situation: I have ffmpeg on my netbook, emerged without the "sdl" USE
2 flag. I've run into a scenario where I want it emerged with sdl. The
3 usual response is to to add the "sdl" USE flag (either in make.conf or
4 in package.use) and simply "emerge ffmpeg" again. But...

8 [aa1][root][~] emerge ffmpeg
9 Calculating dependencies... done!
10 [ebuild R ] media-video/ffmpeg-0.10.3 USE="sdl*"
11
12 !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
13 !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:
14
15 media-video/ffmpeg:0
16
17 (media-video/ffmpeg-0.10.3::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
18 (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)
19
20 (media-video/ffmpeg-0.10.3::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
21 >=media-video/ffmpeg-0.10.2[X=,encode=,jpeg2k=,mp3=,sdl=,theora=,threads=,truetype=,vaapi=,vdpau=,x264=] required by (virtual/ffmpeg-0.10.2-r1::gentoo, installed)
22
23
24 !!! Enabling --newuse and --update might solve this conflict.
25 !!! If not, it might help emerge to give a more specific suggestion.

27 ====================================================================
28
29 What is it whining about?!?! I want to overwrite it, not pull in a
30 second version side-by-side. I tried the suggestion, but no luck...

56 I said "screw it" (or words to that effect<G>), unmerged ffmpeg, and
57 re-emerged it. The emerge is running as I type.
