Bugzilla Bug 48875

gnome-panel-2.6.1 depends on gconf-2.6.1, but the ebuild states:
'>=gnome-base/gconf-2.3.3'

See the file:
gnome-panel-2.6.1/configure.in:69:GCONF_REQUIRED=2.6.1

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:





Portage 2.0.50-r6 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.5-rc1)

Just confirming this, for whatever that's worth.

If the current gnome-panel ebuild is attempted configure will give an error about the versions of libraries installed, indicating that gconf must be at least version 2.6.1:

configure:20860: error: Library requirements (ORBit-2.0 >= 2.4.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0
>= 2.1.0 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.3.2 libgnome-2.0 >= 2.1.1 libgnomeui-2.0 >= 2.5.4 gnome-desktop-2.0 >= 2.1.4 gnome-vfs-2.0 >= 2.3.0 gnome-vfs-module-2.0 >= 2.1.3 libglade-2.0 >= 2.3.0 gconf-2.0 >= 2.6.1) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
