Just a nice to have: emerging quodlibet with USE="trayicon" adds (logically) media-plugins/quodlibet-trayicon to build list. Unfortunately, portage tries to emerge the trayicon before quodlibet and fails with message "Quodlibet must have trayicon support". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add USE="trayicon" to media-sound/quodlibet 2.emerge quodlibet Actual Results: Emerge fails because quodlibet actually don't have trayicon support. Expected Results: merge should work fine solution: put trayicon in merge list after quodlibet itself workaround: using the --skip-first argument of portage to first skip trayicon and merge quodlibet with needed useflag. After that, you can emerge it's trayicon.
Can you show the output of emerge --info and emerge -pv quodlibet ? As far as I can see the ebuild properly use PDEPEND (Post-Depend) so it should merge it _after_ quodlibet. And quodlibet-trayicon properly DEPEND on quodlibet.

You've got quodlibet installed already so there is no mistake in that last line.
(In reply to comment #3) > You've got quodlibet installed already so there is no mistake in that last > line. > yes, beacause i have compiled quodlibet with --skip-first to add the trayicon useflag to it. if you don't have compiled in this use flag, trayicon-applte won't compile. Again.. Should be (in my opinion): installing quodlibet with useflag "trayicon" and after quodlibet compiled, emerge of trayicon starts. Current Situation: Emerging quodlibet with trayicon fails because trayicon stops compiling, complaining "quodlibet has no trayicon support". » trayicon should always be merged AFTER quodlibet itself because you cannot install the trayicon without useflag trayicon in quodlibet, but trayicon useflag toggles quodlibet-trayicon. Thats like the circular dependencies thing ;-)
Can you still do as Diego asked in Comment #1 from situation where quodlibet or it's trayicon is not yet installed, using >=sys-apps/portage-2.1.5_rc6 which is the latest in ~arch. For reference. Then we can ask Portage devs to join the bug.
Okay, now using portage-2.1.5_rc7. Unmerged quodlibet and it's trayicon and reinstalled. Now i've found out that this was not the problem. If you write the useflags before merging it then the order is right. # emerge -av quodlibet [ebuild N ] media-sound/quodlibet-1.0 USE="alsa dbus ffmpeg gnome hal mad trayicon -aac -esd -flac -ipod -mmkeys -musepack -oss -vorbis" 0 kB [ebuild N ] media-plugins/quodlibet-trayicon-3493 0 kB My scenario was: i merged quodlibet w/o the trayicon useflag. After merge i decided to add trayicon support. Then it will look like this: # emerge -av quodlibet [ebuild N ] media-plugins/quodlibet-trayicon-3493 0 kB [ebuild R ] media-sound/quodlibet-1.0 USE="alsa dbus ffmpeg gnome hal mad trayicon* -aac -esd -flac -ipod -mmkeys -musepack -oss -vorbis" 0 kB and that's what my bug report is about. Now merging will fail with die message "media-sound/quodlibet needs trayicon support" so i suppose the order is wrong here. Workaround from Comment #1: emerge --skip-first quodlibet to add trayicon support. After that you will be able to emerge the trayicon.
