You will need to go through a process of removing all packages that have arts as a dependency. Noatun is one of them. If you really want to use noatun or noatun-plugins, I am afraid you have to also emerge arts in your system. I've been through all this some months ago on different machines - you can read more here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/180433 -- Regards, Mick
