Building mail-client/evolution-2.30.3: during the configure states: ... checking for TZDIALOG... yes checking for E_WIDGETS... no configure: error: Package requirements (libedataserverui-1.2 gtkhtml-editor) were not met: No package 'gtkhtml-editor' found yet emerge -s gtkhtml says: gnome-extra/gtkhtml Latest version available: 3.32.0 Latest version installed: 3.32.0 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge evolution Actual Results: emerge evolution fails. Expected Results: emerge evolution should work. Presumably there is a conflict between what the ebuild requires and what the configure requires in terms of checking for essential precursors. Otherwise the ebuild would have flagged this as a problem and pre-compiled the required packages before the package configure was run. Evolution has previously been built on this machine many times so this is a recent problem.

This is because you are using hardmasked Gnome 2.32 packages and evolution-2.32 is still not in the tree, please wait a bit (and take a look on Gnome 2.32 hardmask message) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 339225 ***
evolution-2.32 not in the tree? I don't understand. If it isn't in the tree then why is there an ebuild in the tree which appears to depend upon it? Its very simmple. Evolution builds using "current" tools or it doesn't. And if it doesn't then it (or the tools) should not be released. If building it requires specific tools then those are incorporated into the ebuild files. Simple. You have to have the building blocks on your system before you can build something.
>=gnome-extra/gtkhtml-3.32 is hard masked via profiles/package.mask, so you don't get to complain like that. That said, I'm going to reopen this bug to consider limiting evolution-2.30.x to <gnome-extra/gtkhtml-3.31 or fixing gtkhtml-3.32 to not break compatibility like this. It seems to have renamed the gtkhtml-editor.pc package to gtkhtml-editor-3.14.pc package with its gtk3 support addition (it's called gtkhtml-editor-4.0 with --enable-gtk=3), and possibly also the library names, even though no ABI probably changed if built with --enable-gtk=2, so this is bad and imho should be investigated.

For now, I decided to simply preserve_old_lib for not breaking evolution and other apps RDEPENDing on it at update time but, of course, if any of you think there is a better solution, please let me know :-)
Any opinions on this gnome team?
I have no strong opinion on the matter. I don't think it's worth going against this change now.

I have gone with second option (restrict dependency) even being common policy to not mix stable and testing packages ;-) + 20 Jan 2011; Pacho Ramos <pacho@gentoo.org> evolution-2.30.3.ebuild: + Prevent installation with gtkhtml > 3.30 due bug #341351. +
