libgnomecanvas 2.10.2 fails to build trying to emerge gnome-light due to missing dependency. Apparently libgnomecanvas .configure script requires gtk+ to be present during compile time and even being listed in RDEPEND (and DEPEND) in the ebuild, portage decides to build first libgnomecanvas and later gtk+ ... and the problem appears Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Build a complete system from stage1 with MINIMAL USE flags 2.Boot the new operational clean system 3.Change make.conf to add a bunch of new USE flags 4.emerge --update --newuse --deep gnome-light Actual Results: Package merging order is wrong, at least with libgnomecanvas and gtk+ Expected Results: Merge first gtk+ and later libgnomecanvas ---- libgnomecanvas 2.10.2 configure script results: ---- checking whether the x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g77 linker (/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld -m elf_x86_64) supports shared libraries... yes checking dynamic linker characteristics...

installed after GTK+ as libgnomecanvas depends on it. So portage is apparently calculating install order properly. I first thought it could be a problem in portage and as the Xeon dual system (gaileo) is using x86 keyword and thus had an older portage (2.0.51.22-r3). So I installed ~ portage on Galileo (it was updated to the same version on the Pentium 4). The problem still persists and the results remain the same for stable portage and beta one (2.0.53_rc7). I also check differences in libgnomecanvas ebuild but they're exactly the same except that the stable one dependes on pkg-config while the ~ requires pkg-config >= 0.9. Could this make a difference?

I've left the hardware option in AMD64 cause I haven't been able to reproduce this behaviour in other architecture than an 64 bits Gentoo system, but it would be surprising if it'd be specific of this arch.
Another dependencies problem appeared in the dual Xeon system later after solving the libgnomecanvas problem with an individual emerge of the package. Also the Pentium 4 system (Titan) had calculated the dependencies incorrectly, as another problem appeared with pango / gtk / glib Portage seems to be becoming crazy when I use the --deep --newuse and --update flags!! (even the last version). Am I doing something wrong???
I've seen this to many times using the mix of --update --deep and --newuse while installing gnome. If this was a bug it should be widly known. Let's keep this close until I can find out more why Portage is failing. If it's a bug it's not a problem of Gnome components at all, so this should be asigned to Gnome component. I'm setting my own bug to invalid.
