Description Maxim Kammerer 2013-08-22 20:24:02 UTC 
This recent commit:
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-mobilephone/obexftp/obexftp-0.23-r1.ebuild?r1=1.13&r2=1.14

introduces transition to distutils-r1. My understanding of Python eclasses is limited, but distutils-r1 is apparently used for unconditional Python dependencies.

s/distutils/python-single/ in the ebuild + "python? ( ${PYTHON_DEPS} )" in RDEPEND seems to fix the issue.

I used distutils-r1 because the old one used distutils. Will investigate further.

[QA]

The mobile-phone herd has been dissolved to maintainer-needed due to absence.

This package has no maintainer so this bug may go unnoticed for a long time.
Gentoo has a dedicated team[1] for assisting users in maintaining orphaned
packages. If you are interested in maintaining this package, please contact
proxy-maint@gentoo.org.

Should be fixed in -0.24. But see bug #522750 comment #4.
