When I try to emerge new "stable" gnumeric-1.8.4-r1 it complains: emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=gnome-extra/libgsf-1.14.6[-gnome]". !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request: - gnome-extra/libgsf-1.14.10 (Change USE: -gnome) (dependency required by "app-office/gnumeric-1.8.4-r1" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "world" [argument]) So, I rebuild "libgsf -gnome" and gnumeric-1.8.4-r1 fails /bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libgsf-gnome-1.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libgsf-gnome-1.la' is not a valid libtool archive make[4]: *** [libspreadsheet.la] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnumeric-1.8.4-r1/work/gnumeric-1.8.4/src' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnumeric-1.8.4-r1/work/gnumeric-1.8.4/src' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnumeric-1.8.4-r1/work/gnumeric-1.8.4/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-office/gnumeric-1.8.4-r1/work/gnumeric-1.8.4' make: *** [all] Error 2 * * ERROR: app-office/gnumeric-1.8.4-r1 failed.

gnumeric with USE="gnome" requires libgsf with USE="gnome" as gnucash. So there is no problem here. Not building with USE="-gnome" is a problem though.
That is correct it is working now. I must have misinterpreted the information :-/ Apology about it.
*** Bug 262633 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I have had "-gnome" in my USE flags for over a year now on my mostly stable AMD64 box. But, when I try to update gnumeric I get the error mentioned above. I've noticed I have libgsf built with "gnome" support, I don't know why. Even if I add the redundant line "gnome-extra/libgsf -gnome" to my /etc/portage/package.use file, portage wants to re-emerge libgsf with gnome support. Why on Earth?? As a result, I can't update gnumeric. However, I have gnumeric-1.8.3 installed with "-gnome", so in the past that was not a problem. What's happening now?
It's been my impression that I was the only one confused the the wording in it. To solve it all you need to do is to put in: /etc/portage/package.use app-office/gnumeric gnome but the emerge did not mentioned any of it and created confusion.
I was confused too.
