My gnome useflag is turned off for this package just in case... didn't help.

Reproducible: Always




Fixed it by emerging libgsf manually.

This looks more like la file pollution,
than a dep. Try revdep-rebuild first,
if that doesn't help, try lafilefixer next.

Please do what Rafał suggested. If that doesn't fix the problem reopen this bug.
