It's hard to install gimp. It has old dependencies of virtual/x11 and gimp-print. In order to emerge it succesfully I need to: a) Downgrade or uninstall gimp-print that works great with gimp. b) Install gimp with --nodeps. c) Install new gimp-print back, or upgrade from old one to have drivers for me printer. Maybe gimp dependencies could be fixed so that 5.0.0 would satisfy gimp, and xorg-server and other components would satisfy X11 need. I've seen similar bugreports of this before though, but no solution. drac ~ # emerge -av gimp These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

This has nothing to do with gimp-print (which does not block anything and there are tons of duplicates of Bug 75918). Anyway, modularized X ebuilds are in package.mask. Changing summary and severity.
Fixed
