According to the following thread it seems that sys-auth/consolekit does NOT compile with glibc versions < 2.5. I am running Gentoo 2006.1 (I think) woth glibc 2.4-r4:2.2. Emerging of any available version of consolekit doesn't succeed. I am right now emerging a new version of glibc and will update this bug to tell you whether it actually helped. For further info please have a look at the last posts in this thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-552961-highlight-.html?sid=f6268e2f14965bcf93e70f5255f7a59a Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: On a system with glibc < 2.5 emerge consolekit or gnome which has consolekit as a dependency Actual Results: See linked thread
considering glibc 2.5 is stable on every platform... where's the issue? why aren't you running glibc 2.5?
(In reply to comment #1) > considering glibc 2.5 is stable on every platform... where's the issue? why > aren't you running glibc 2.5? > Because I didn't need it till today and during the process of emerging Gnome I spent some time trying to figure this out. So I thought maybe portage should reflect this dependency, if not at least to be consistent. As it seems it definitely needs 2.4 and altohugh it's stable now that doesn't necessary mean everybody uses it. However bear in mind that this is my first bugreport and if this is due to some reasons considered unwise or unwanted to add a versionized dependency in this case I would understand.

I added a specific depend in there for both versions in the tree.
