qt-phonon ebuild depends on a ~x11-libs/qt-gui-4.5.2 ebuild which isn't in the portage tree. Made an overlay ebuild with =x11-libs/qt-gui-4.5.2 instead, this one works as expected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -uDav dev-python/PyQt4 Actual Results: Emerge error: emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy "~x11-libs/qt-gui-4.5.2[glib,qt3support,-debug]". !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request: - x11-libs/qt-gui-4.5.2-r2 (Change USE: +qt3support) (dependency required by "x11-libs/qt-phonon-4.5.2" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "x11-libs/qt-webkit-4.5.2-r1" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "dev-python/PyQt4-4.5.4-r4" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "dev-python/PyQt4:0" [argument]) Expected Results: Emerge completes succesfully
x11-libs/qt-gui-4.5.2-r2 (Change USE: +qt3support) There, the message even tells you what to do. You're lacking a useflag there :)
