emerging media-libs/tiff:3 fixesd the problem Skype should thus depend on media-libs/tiff:3 yeah, sorry, forgot to restore it after restoring USE=qt-static (it's only required with USE=qt-static, no idea why anyone would use the flag at all but that's another story) fixed (In reply to comment #2) > yeah, sorry, forgot to restore it after restoring USE=qt-static (it's only > required with USE=qt-static, no idea why anyone would use the flag at all > but that's another story) > > fixed qt-static was used because Skype was based on an old QT version, not compatible with system's QT. qt-static uses the QT version embedded within skype blob.
