Looks like www-client/epiphany-2.28.2 needs libsoup-gnome when compiling for gnome with gnome USE flag. Please check configure log bellow. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gnome ( or emerge epiphany ) 2. 3. Actual Results: checking what warning flags to pass to the C compiler... -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wno-sign-compare checking what language compliance flags to pass to the C compiler... checking whether to build tests... no checking for DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements ( glib-2.0 >= 2.19.7 gmodule-2.0 gthread-2.0 gio-unix-2.0 >= 2.19.7 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.16.0 gtk+-unix-print-2.0 >= 2.16.0 ice x11 sm libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.12 libxslt >= 1.1.7 gconf-2.0 libstartup-notification-1.0 >= 0.5 libnotify >= 0.4 webkit-1.0 >= 1.1.15 libsoup-gnome-2.4 >= 2.27.91 gnome-keyring-1 >= 2.26.0 ) were not met: No package 'libsoup-gnome-2.4' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS and DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
We already have this dependency in (R)DEPEND, see yourself: >=net-libs/libsoup-2.27.91[gnome] which should be compatible with libsoup-2.28.2[gnome], in fact we slipped libsoup-gnome plugin in net-libs/libsoup-gnome package, but libsoup is still backward compatible because it depends on libsoup-gnome when "gnome" USE flag is set. Mhhh... I'm not sure but could you attach the output of emerge -pv epiphany ?
It was my friend who installed gnome, so I can't easily attach all logs, sorry. But it happend while doing emerge gnome with USE flags from Gentoo gnome install manual. There were also same additional non-minus flags like qt3 qt4 kde (for kde support later) and I got configure error of epiphany I sent here. When I manually emerged libsoup-gnome it worked. Here is output of emerge -pv epiphany: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] www-client/epiphany-2.28.2 USE="avahi nss -debug -doc -networkmanager -test" 0 kB would you want also system-wide USE? Thanks
Here is emerge --info output. It's all I can do regarding this: Portage 2.1.7.16 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.10.1-r1, 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6-i686-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_T5800_@_2.00GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.13 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:15:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p35 dev-lang/python: 2.6.4 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.0-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.13 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.2, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc: 4.3.4 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.32 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 x86-linux ~x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -mtune=core2 -O3 -maccumulate-outgoing-args -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -finline-functions -funswitch-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -fpeel-loops -msse -mmmx -msse2 -msse3 -mssse3 -fexpensive-optimizations -funroll-all-loops -ftracer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -mtune=core2 -O3 -maccumulate-outgoing-args -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -finline-functions -funswitch-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -fpeel-loops -msse -mmmx -msse2 -msse3 -mssse3 -fexpensive-optimizations -funroll-all-loops -ftracer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/gentoo/gentoo ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/gentoo ftp://fi.muni.cz/pub/linux/gentoo" LANG="C" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa arts avahi berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt cxx dbus dri dts dvd dvdr eds emboss encode evo extras fam firefox flac fortran gdbm gif gnome gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv ipv6 jpeg kde kdrive ldap libnotify mad mikmod mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png policykit ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl secure-delete session sip spell spl ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd thunar tiff truetype unicode usb utf8 vorbis wav win32codecs x264 x86 xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="ati vesa fglrx" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY Hope it will help. If you are sure there is correct (R)DEPEND you can resolve this as fixed as I don't have other logs from that time. Thanks.
I also ran into this problem.
