>Description:

	The x11/gnome2 meta-port is requiring gstreamer-plugins through a long chain of requisites.  Before this, I had toinstall audio/libshout2 (v2.0) because of other ports needing it specifically.  Gstreamer-plugins, tho, is calling for audio/libshout (v1.0.7), causing a CONFLICTS condition to be raised during portupgrade fresh install of x11/gnome2.

	The gstreamer-plugins' Makefile does a simple detection to see that libshout.a is installed, then the Makefile adds the 'wrong' version of libshout to the LIB_DEPENDS string.  The Makefile also uses the environment variable WITH_LIBSHOUT (irregardless of libshout.a being installed) and if it is defined, the Makefile again adds the 'wrong' version of libshout to LIB_DEPENDS.  And we never get to a point where the meta-port itself is installed.

	I use CTM (due to firewall issues here) and am up-to-date as far as this morning's buckets for src-cur and ports-cur.


>How-To-Repeat:

	Install audio/libshout2 first, then install multimedia/gstreamer-plugins.


>Fix:

	To work around this, I simply patched the Makefile for gstreamer-plugins to specify audio/libshout2 instead of audio/libshout:

 .else
-LIB_DEPENDS+=	shout.2:${PORTSDIR}/audio/libshout
+LIB_DEPENDS+=	shout.3:${PORTSDIR}/audio/libshout2
 
 PLIST_SUB+=	LIBSHOUT=""
 .endif

	I have no idea whether gstreamer-plugins will function with libshout2 (since it'll take a while to get the whole gnome2 built and installed in order to test this).
