gtk+:2 ebuilds have an excessive dependency on gobject-introspection-common, which is not required.

Reproducible: Always

You are right: since gtk+-2.24.18 and 2.24.19 source tarballs already contain the introspection.m4 file, a dependency on gobject-introspection-common is not needed. Thanks for reporting!

reopening this bug, as gtk+-2.24.21 no longer has m4/introspection.m4 shipped.
