The phonon module x11-libs/qt-webkit-4.5.0_rc1 is building is optionnal. So maybe the ebuild should have a phonon flag just like x11-libs/qt-4.5.0_rc1 have. Because right now, even without the phonon use flag enabled for x11-libs/qt-4.5.0_rc1, it needs x11-libs/qt-phonon-4.5.0_rc1 as an indirect dependency.
The fact that the metapackage is pulling phonon doesnt mean that it is an optional dependency for qt-webkit. You shouldnt really use the metapackage anymore. Phonon must be installed in order to make qt-webkit compile and work fine. Am I answering your question? If yes, then this bug should close as invalid, otherwise let me know why you think that phonon is an optional dependency of qt-webkit. If you try to build qt-webkit without phonon installed you will get a nice liker error
Here is what I thought: - The configure script of qt-webkit allows to decide whether or not we want to build the phonon module. Since the qt metapackage has a phonon flag to decide whether or not it should depend on qt-phonon, maybe the phonon flag should be passed down to qt-webkit. - It works, I tried, but since the phonon module is enabled by default wether or not qt-phonon is present, it has to be explicitly disabled by the configure script. - Here is how I modified the qt-webkit-4.5_rc1 ebuild: --- /usr/portage/x11-libs/qt-webkit/qt-webkit-4.5.0_rc1.ebuild +++ /usr/local/portage/x11-libs/qt-webkit/qt-webkit-4.5.0_rc1.ebuild @@ -9,11 +9,11 @@ LICENSE="|| ( GPL-3 GPL-2 )" SLOT="4" KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~hppa ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 -sparc ~x86" -IUSE="" +IUSE="phonon" DEPEND="~x11-libs/qt-core-${PV}[debug=,ssl] ~x11-libs/qt-gui-${PV}[debug=] - || ( ~x11-libs/qt-phonon-${PV}:${SLOT}[debug=] media-sound/phonon )" + phonon?

What you are doing is to build ( or not ) the phonon module with qt-webkit module. Phonon module is supposed to build with qt-phonon module. So if you try to build it inside qt-webkit you will have collisions with qt-phonon. I dont know if you can follow my words. What should be fixed is to drop the use flag "phonon" from metapackage in order to make qt-phonon an actual dependency and not an optional one. Qt-webkit ebuild is building only the webkit module but requires phonon to be present .So it is not an optional dependency. Qt-webkit cant work if phonon is not installed. To sum up, qt-webkit ebuild is fine, I just need to fix the metapackage to always pull qt-phonon and not according to phonon use flag. :)
You mean phonon is an interface to qt-phonon and not the order way around ? Anyway, I get it now that qt-phonon need to be build. So, should I close the bug or rename it "qt metapackage should always pull qt-phonon and not according to phonon use flag" ^^ ?

If you set "-phonon" or "-no-phonon" on configure script you will end up disabling phonon support ,hence qt-webkit wont build. No, there is no need to change the title as long as I am the one who is taking care of this :). Yes the solution would be to modify metapackage to always pull qt-phonon and not according to use flag selection. I ll fix it later today :)
