Hey I Just tried to emerge gnome-extra/policykit-gnome-0.9.2 As it seems the ebuild ist missing the dependencies for >=gtk-doc-1.3 >=gtk+-2.13.6 Here are the relevant parts of the Output: For gtk-doc: "checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config... no checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking whether gcc understands -Wno-sign-compare... yes checking what warning flags to pass to the C compiler... -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wno-sign-compare checking what language compliance flags to pass to the C compiler... configure: error: You need to have gtk-doc >= 1.3 installed to build gtk-doc" for gtk+: "checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config... no checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking whether gcc understands -Wno-sign-compare... yes checking what warning flags to pass to the C compiler... -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wno-sign-compare checking what language compliance flags to pass to the C compiler... checking whether to build gtk-doc documentation... yes checking for gtkdoc-check... /usr/bin/gtkdoc-check checking for GTK... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.13.6) were not met: Requested 'gtk+-2.0 >= 2.13.6' but version of GTK+ is 2.12.11 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTK_CFLAGS and GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details." Just wanted to notice this I would think this is easy to reproduce. btw. im not going to finish merging the policykit-gnome package, because I want to keep the system a little bit stable and there are deep dependencies in the unstable tree.;) Hope I didn't do anything wrong the way I reported this, because this is my first bug report. Greetings Ragas
*** Bug 245994 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
please don't forget the emerge --info next time. This is not a problem in gnome overlay nor in portage since there is no 0.9 in there, so you'll have to speak to the guy maintaining the overlay you are using. And please don't touch product and component fields if you don't know what they really do.
Ok thanks. I will remember that next time.
