Yes, like said, at some point you cannot prevent that. Remember when I bumped libvpx to v1.8.0 and people yelled at me because they are now seeing that message all the time (If you are using gnome you probably know the same msg which triggers for unicode stuff which I am also responsible for) because I bumped that package but not everything supports that version yet? It's just a hint. Not a problem. If you don't understand that hint I can't help. It doesn't force user interaction like a mask do. If you understand the problem, you will locally mask >=libvpx-1.8 and message will go away. And again: If this will really solve problems, why is anyone allowed to take over those package like I did for sabnzbd? If you are right and this is really a problem for Gentoo I shouldn't be allowed to do that. And *then* we would also have a reason to mask :-) -- Regards, Thomas Deutschmann / Gentoo Linux Developer C4DD 695F A713 8F24 2AA1 5638 5849 7EE5 1D5D 74A5
