emerge -puDv --newuse world caused this after getting rather behind. May have added new useflag in that time and hadn't updated world but regardless I am here now. I've run revdep-rebuild, python-update, and emerge world each many times in hoping to fix many compile problems. This one will not go away however after the rest have cleared up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -puDv --newuse world (-or-) emerge gnome-extra/deskbar-applet 2. 3.
