The issue arises with adesklets 0.6.1 and fontconfig >= 2.4. The USE flag fontconfig causes a needed fontconfig 2.4 patch to be applied when fontconfig 2.4 or higher is installed. If the USE flag fontconfig is not used, however, the adesklets package auto-detects for fontconfig, and will fail to apply the needed patch, resulting in a run-time error with adesklets. I believe the fix for this would be to explicitly de-activate fontconfig in the ebuild: src_compile () { ... use fontconfig || myconf="${myconf} --without-fontconfig" ... } Another workaround may be to always apply the fontconfig patch, instead of conditionally around use fontconfig.

Fixed latest revision. Previous one doesn't handle fontconfig at all. Thanks for the submission!
