Description Matthias Maier gentoo-dev 2014-10-25 23:21:01 UTC
media-libs/lcms:0 is unmaintained, has seen no releases since 2009, and (according to upstream) is affected by unspecified serious security issues. Please 

* either drop all old versions that depend on media-libs/lcms:0, 
* or hard-disable an optional dependency on media-libs/lcms:0.

Thank you!

Hi!

my understanding is that only 2.8.6 is using lcms:0

  # fgrep -R media-libs/lcms . | fgrep :0
  ./gimp-2.8.6.ebuild:	lcms? ( >=media-libs/lcms-1.16:0 )

and that for all the arches that 2.8.6 is stabilized, 2.8.10-r1 is marked stable too.  So the fix would be to remove the 2.8.6 ebuilds.  Is that correct?

Yes, there is only media-gfx/gimp-2.8.6 in the tree depending on media-libs/lcms:0 - So dropping the old version will resolve this issue.

The version information in the summary is precise, but confusing :-)
