After a fresh install off of the 2008.0 liveCD, I was trying to emerge kdebase-meta, and it gets to trying to emerge kdelibs-4.2.1-r1 which fails during configure because the version of shared-mime-info is 0.22. This could be easily worked around by updating shared-mime-info by hand, but it would be nice if the ebuild took care of it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install gentoo from 2008.0 liveCD 2. Unmask kdebase-meta and deps (I was using portato or porthole or himerge to do this automatically, I forget which one did the actual unmasking) 3. Emerge kde-base/kdebase-meta-4.2.1-r1 Actual Results: All the deps of kdelibs install fine, but when it gets to kdelibs itself, configure fails with this message: -- Found shared-mime-info version: 0.22 CMake Error at cmake/modules/FindSharedMimeInfo.cmake:45 (message): The found version of shared-mime-info (0.22) is below the minimum required (0.23) Expected Results: kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.1-r1 should have a dependency on >=x11-libs/shared-mime-info-0.23
since that is minimal version in portage tree there is no problem. There are also generated newer stages for all archs. so you really dont have to use 2008.0 :]
