--8<-- DEPEND="gtk? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2 ) >=sys-devel/binutils-2.15" --8<-- I bet binutils is _not_ an RDEPEND, so please change the ebuild to --8<-- DEPEND="gtk? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2 ) >=sys-devel/binutils-2.15" RDEPEND="gtk? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2 )" --8<-- in order to permit the proper use of ROOT=/altroot when merging (and not cluttering /altroot with unneeded packages). Thanks!
fixed in cvs
