The latest ebuild for epiphany (1.7.4, currently package masked) should depend on iso-codes, although I'm whether this is only used for compilation or not. Without the dependency the ebuild fails whilst running ./configure. checking for pygtk h2def... /usr/bin/python /usr/share/pygtk/2.0/codegen/h2def.py checking whether i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc understands -fno-strict-aliasing... yes checking for iso-codes package... no configure: error: iso-codes is required Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure iso-codes is not installed 2. Attempt to emerge epiphany-1.7.4 3. Actual Results: Failure during ./configure. Expected Results: Successful compilation.
