When I tried to emerge fbida, the compile failed while looking for the libexif headers. A quick emerge of libexif follwed by a new emerge of fbida resolved the issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge fbida without libexif installed Actual Results: lateralus root # emerge fbida Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) media-gfx/fbida-2.03 to / >>> Downloading http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/fbida-2.03.tar.gz --17:10:34-- http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/fbida-2.03.tar.gz => `/usr/portage/distfiles/fbida-2.03.tar.gz' Resolving distfiles.gentoo.org... 216.165.129.135, 156.56.247.195, 140.211.166.134 Connecting to distfiles.gentoo.org[216.165.129.135]:80... connected.

ERROR: media-gfx/fbida-2.03 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 49, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) Expected Results: The ebuild should probably have checked for libexif, and then proceeded to install it if missing. About the severity; it's Normal if you wouldn't expect the average Gentoo user to be able to understand the error messages and find the appropriate solution, it's Minor if you do since it didn't take much work to fix by hand. I'm setting it to Normal, it's hopefully and easy ebuild fix anyways.
Fixed in CVS. BTW, you don't need to explain in so much detail why you have chosen a particular 'severity' value. Many devs don't care too much what's set in all these fields in bugzilla ;)
