Hi, after a recent update I ran revdep-rebuild and I am confused by the output.

Here is the trimmed output:

All prepared. Starting rebuild...
emerge --oneshot -p =gnome-extra/libgsf-1.14.3
=gnome-extra/evolution-webcal-2.12.0
=gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-1.12.3
=gnome-extra/bug-buddy-2.20.1 =gnome-extra/gnome-media-2.20.1
=net-fs/samba-3.0.28 =net-print/gnome-cups-manager-0.31-r2
=net-print/libgnomecups-0.2.2 =gnome-base/libgnomeprint-2.18.3
=mail-client/evolution-2.12.3-r1 =media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.14
=media-libs/gstreamer-0.8.11 =media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.11
=media-libs/gst-plugins-base-0.10.14 =x11-libs/gtk+-2.12.8
=app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.61-r3 =net-libs/libsoup-2.2.100
=kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.8-r3

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies /
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=media-libs/gstreamer-0.8.11" have
been masked.

Here is the relavent output from eix gstreamer:

[UD] media-libs/gstreamer
Available versions: (0.10) 0.10.14 (~)0.10.17 (~)0.10.19
{debug nls test}
Installed versions: 0.8.11(0.8)(18:40:46 04/24/07)(-debug -doc)
0.10.14(0.10)(17:45:07 09/17/07)
Homepage: http://gstreamer.sourceforge.net
Description: Streaming media framework

From this output it appears that 0.8.** versions of gstreamer have
been removed from the portage tree, is gstreamer-0.8 leftover on my
system and can it safely be removed?

Thanks
AJ
