I have seen the same problem. The virtua/x11 does not show up in emerge -p gnucash, so it seems like a unresolved dependency.

Here's what I'd like to do, people. I'd like to deprecate gnucash-1 entirely in favour of gnucash-2. Ideally, I want to stable gnucash-2.0.1 in the next week. What do folks think about this? Please let me know if you have functionality that isn't satisfied by gnucash-2, because then I'll fix this bug. Otherwise, I think gnucash-1 is just a wasted effort, really.
(In reply to comment #2) > What do folks think about this? Please let me know if you have functionality > that isn't satisfied by gnucash-2, because then I'll fix this bug. Otherwise, > I think gnucash-1 is just a wasted effort, really. +1. We stopped maintaining 1.8.x when 2.0.x was still 1.9.x. 2.0.x is at least as good, and definitely better, than 1.8.x.
To try 2.0.x I had: echo "app-office/gnucash ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords echo "dev-perl/Finance-Quote ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords Anything else that I should upgrade to unstable ? Thank you.
that should be all you need. I intend to update sland and something else in portage soon (they're on my buglist)
I think more time should be given for 1.8.11. 2.0.1 is a huge release and if it somehow breaks for some people or has bugs, they should be able to fall back on 1.8.11 for at least a while longer. 1.8.11 is rock solid, I don't quite trust 2.x yet to use it.
There just needs to be a dependancy on media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi and media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi and pkg_setup can be removed.
After seeing Seemant's recent blog post today, part of me wants to agree with removing old packages, but in the end I have to disagree with deleting old packages like gnucash so hastily. In fact why should 1.8 ever be removed from the tree? Why should a distro force me to upgrade a program if I don't want to? Why should I have to go into portage's CVS attic and find an old ebuild if I for some reason need to re-emerge gnucash-1.8*? What is the fundamental problem that certain devs have with old packages in the tree? I am sure there are other ways of resolving these problems which don't include removing them from the tree.
This built_with_use check is completely bogus, please remove it (and replace with appropriate dependency if needed).
1.8.11 and 1.8.12 both fixed.
In reply to my own comment #6 and comment #8, I have now upgraded to gnucash-2.x and it is a lot more stable than I expected, in fact, I feel like I am using the old one except it is GTK2. No bugs like I noticed in the earlierer betas. I still think that 1.8.x should not be deleted, but should be made ~x86 or masked or moved to sunrise or something. You never know what reason a user might have for sticking with an older version. You don't want to support 1.8.x? Fine with me.
