Emerging (-pv) ayttm wants esound although i have -esd. Going down the list of dependencies teaches me that gdk-pixbuf is the one which would pull in esound. But since i have -gnome, why does it want the gnome libs ? After trying a few different things, i discover that if i specify the gnome USE flag, the list of dependencies is exactly the same Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setting: no gnome stuff previously installed on this machine, -gnome in USE since the original install, no gdm, no nothin. 2. # emerge -pv ayttm 3. # USE="gnome" emerge -pv ayttm Actual Results: Step 1: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Well, this line in the ebuild seems useless gnome? ( >=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.7 ) since media-libs/gdk-pixbuf RDEPENDs on gnome-libs (not optional). esd? ( >=media-sound/esound-0.2.28 ) looks also redundant as gnome-libs depends on esound (also not optional). As gdk-pixbuf is needed, probably nothing can be done dependency-wise. Those gnome/esd use flags are are used in src_compile(), so they are needed unless we make esd/gnome support not optional (which might make sense since the dependencies cannot be avoided anyway). app-crypt/gpgme-0.3.14-r1 does not depend on dev-libs/pth, while gpgme-1.0.2 does; ayttm does not compile w/ >=gpgme-1 (Bug 78521) so this looks OK.
p.masked pending removal for Bug 154102. WONTFIX.
