Since at least version 1.8.0 of ruby was released the zlib module has been included in the base language install. The version in dev-ruby/ruby-zlib is older than the included version, and is missing bug fixes. Perhaps it should be removed from the tree, as older ruby versions have been purged. The attached patch removes the ruby-zlib dependency from www-client/gorua/gorua-0.17.ebuild which is the only in-tree ebuild which uses it. Thanks James

usata, gorua is your package, want me to fix this to depend on a newer version of ruby so that we can remove ruby-zlib ?
Diego, I think you should go fix gorua :P if usata is still too busy. Or I'm going to fix it.
gorua fixed. ruby-zlib gone.
