media-gfx/imagemagick-6.3.7.9 added a svg USE flag, which introduces a bad circular dependency imagemagick (USE=svg)->librsvg->libgsf->imagemagick (USE=gnome)->librsvg This makes a from scratch installation of GNOME on a ~amd64 system with no special USE flags fail, requiring manual workarounds - just using the default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop profile.
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

And why exactly does gnome-extra/libgsf DEPEND on imagemagick with USE=gnome when the whole thing is *only* used for the thumbnailer which calls convert at *runtime*. Move it to PDEPEND and you'll have no circular deps.
Hence the CCing of gnome@ as it might be possible to improve it on our side instead. I am at work, installing work system, I didn't have time to investigate further immediately.. Thanks for the information of where it's used in libgsf.
Unmerged imagemagick, recompiled libgsf w/ USE=gnome -> everything compiled just fine, including the gsf-office-thumbnailer thing. You only need this at runtime.
Fixed in CVS by Daniel.
