portage devs, do you guys have any clue how this could happen. The deps always seem correct in all of these reports, it has todo something with the virtuals ? Another problem in this category : http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34991

@portage devs : another request to have a look at this issue. The deps are correct in all these cases.
*** Bug 45707 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I think Bug 30946 might be the same case. It seemed to only break for new installs. foser pointed this out to me. Should I mark mine as a duplicate?

I'm not a dev but I had a similar problem and decided to investigate (the one in bug 30946). Gnome-spell or gtkspell requires enchant (I had 1.1.3 installed). In the enchant ebuild I saw that to build and run enchant you need aspell OR ispell OR hspell (|| ( virtual/aspell-dict app-text/ispell app-text/hspell )). But gtkspell an I assume gnome-spell wants aspell not ispell that satisfied enchant for me. So this is the problem in my case.
right, that is a mistake that could explain some of these reports. We didn't run autoconf for gtkspell, so the configure.in fixed didn't get propagated. I'll fix this now. But this is not the case with gnome-spell (the initial bugreport is on a version that doesn't use enchant).
