Old app-text/tetex/tetex-1.0.7-r13.ebuild has PROVIDE="virtual/tetex" which is removed in all newer version of tetex and cstetex. I don't know reason. app-text/evince has app-text/tetex in RDEPEND Emerging evince isn't possible if cstetex is installed because cstetex blocking tetex. I suppose that similar problem occur if ptex is installed.

Changing summary, you've completely misunderstood the issue, the provide is done via tetex eclass.

It is not for fun it says that you must include the output from emerge info. So please do so! And please stop the patches, it is not a problem with *tex ebuilds, it is probably a problem with the evince ebuild (but I'll first know when you give me the output from emerge info).

I can't see a problem why evince shouldn't work with other tex dist than tetex, so virtual/tetex should work.
Evince requires a specific (libkpathsea) from tetex, not a tex implementation. virtual/tetex is not sufficient.
(In reply to comment #9) > Evince requires a specific (libkpathsea) from tetex, not a tex implementation. > virtual/tetex is not sufficient. > Cstetex contains libkpathsea $ equery belongs `locate libkpathsea` [ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib/libkpathsea.a in *... ] app-text/cstetex-2.0.2-r1 (/usr/lib/libkpathsea.a) I realy don't know if my patch work for ptex users, but I use cstetex and after using my patches I can use evince, which work without any problems. As far I know cstetex is tetex with some nice patches from cstug and ptex is tetex with some other patches. I first fix of this problem via virtual package was unsigthly. My new patch use tetex eclass instead too restricive app-text/tetex (Thanks to Jakub Moc for open my eyes)

In my opinion it would be better if evince has depend on tetex eclass instead virtual/tetex. But now I'am be able to correct this. So my first patches can be used as temporaly workaround.

I have no interest in using the tetex eclass. It's a huge mess, and I don't even preted to understand it. If there's no simple way of doing the deps as deps, the dep on tetex will stay.

Another solution is using dvi? ( || (app-text/tetex app-text/cstetex app-text/ptex) ) instead of dvi? ( app-text/tetex ) in evince RDEPEND. But many packages uses virtual/tetex (as you can see $ grep -R 'virtual/tetex' /usr/portage/!(distfiles) ) For what reason virtual/tetex was removed?
Because at the time, only the real tetex had the correct libkpathsea that evince needed. If that has since changed, the virtual can go back.
Created attachment 84661 [details, diff] short patch solving the problem I've successfully built evince with ptex. All that was needed was the following patch and rather trivial changes in ebuild ( virtual/tetex and applying this patch). Evince works and opens dvi files.
Just one thing - don't know if it makes any difference but that was of course about ptex3.
*** Bug 134441 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
For those, who want to know: evince-0.5.4 builds with ptex without any patches needed.
I've tested this now, and it appears to work unmodified, so I've changed it to virtual/tetex. Thanks for following up.

This is still not resolved. evince with USE="dvi" still wants to pull in virtual/tetex (and thus tetex), though texlive-core is installed. Depending on virtual/tetex is a merely awkward solution, the virtual should be named something like virtual/libkpathsea (imho) and all packages that can provide libkpathsea should provide the corresponding virtual to satisfy the dependency. In case of texlive the situation is even worse: [blocks B ] app-text/tetex (is blocking app-text/texlive-core-2007-r12) Of course one could just patch texlive-core to provide virtual/tetex, but I don't think that virtual/tetex is the proper virtual anyway, since it might provide more than just libkpathsea dependency - I'd rather like to see a proper evince dependency to a clearly named virtual, which in turn can be provided by those packages providing the library evince is depending on.
Sven, this bug is fixed now the new dependency is virtual/tex-base.
