Folks has since 0.9 an optional dependency on libzeitgeist again, only its configure doesn't reflect this with a switch. It is currently part of the telepathy switch. Since folks+telepathy is mandatory for empathy, it also pulls in zeitgeist atm. Suggested fix is fixing its configure to make zeitgeist optional and reflect this is in the ebuild with USE=zeitgeist . Reproducible: Always
Looks like upstream made that dep automagic when fixing: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686506 :S
Created attachment 345948 [details, diff] add configure switch for zeitgeist With my more than rusty autofu skills I managed to conjure up this abomination. Works for me, Probably too ugly for upstream as it is. This also requires a buildtime dep on vala if USE=-zeitgeist to regenerate the c files of the telepathy backend and disable zeitgeist.
