When installing evolution-1.2.4, emerge installs many gnome2 packages, which shouldn't be necessary. I think this is a problem with the >=somepackage dependencies. Unfortunately, I'm not able to track it down right now. When "emerge -e system && emerge -e world"ing over the weekend, I will complete the bug with the ebuild-to-blame. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge evolution Actual Results: A lot of gnome2 packages are being installed. Expected Results: emerge shouldn't install gnome2 packages at all.

unless you unmasked some packages from package.mask, this should not happen. please let me know which packages you are claiming evolution-1.2.4 depends on that is a part of gnome2. the only one that could be possible is gnome-extra/gal, but that is package.mask'ed.
Please have a look at this: hostname # emerge -epv evolution These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

thanks for that. looks like the old gnome-pilot's didn't have their deps pegged properly. i've fixed it now and it shouldn't need gnome2 anymore.
