Thanks for the explanation. I'll wait until 0.9 goes stable. |

When originally running `emerge -pv world` I *did* get an emerge |
| 18 |
message about slotting, and it did appear to be trying to emerge BOTH |
| 19 |
versions of ffmpeg, but I'm afraid I can't reproduce this now. I |
| 20 |
guess I could do so by grabbing the media-video/vlc-0.8.6f ebuild |
| 21 |
from Portage's attic putting it in local, but I can't be arsed. |

You'll just have to trust me when I say I don't know the exact message. |
