Hi,
the recent upgrade to Gnome 3.12.1 includes
app-misc/tracker-1.0 which forces me to decide between gstreamer and
ffmpeg.
It says
   The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
     at-most-one-of ( gstreamer ffmpeg )

But many packages installed here depend on one of these.

What can I do about it and why can't I have both as previously.

It's only asking you to choose which to use for app-misc/tracker, not 
globally.  Just change the USE for that individual package.

echo "app-misc/tracker gstreamer -ffmpeg" > /etc/portage/package.use/tracker

or

echo "app-misc/tracker -gstreamer ffmpeg" > /etc/portage/package.use/tracker
