what do you mean by crash? do you have any console output? goats works with libgnomeprintui-2.4, so i've fixed the dep in the ebuild. it should not need to downgrade libgnomeprintui anymore.
The goats ebuild downgrades libgnomeprintui as a dependency, but not libgnomeprint. Consequently, the libgnomeprintui ebuild crashes because it's dependency (a downgraded libgnomeprint) isn't met. Perhaps the pre-2.4 libgnomeprintui ebuild needs a check for the correct version of libgnomeprint? Sorry for the confusion. I should have been more specific regarding the crash.
how do you mean crash ? maybe we should make the dep in libgnomeprint ui stricter to =<pack>* instead of >=
Crash as in, "the compile fails because a library dependency isn't met". Pre-2.4 libgnomeprintui will not compile if libgnomeprint-2.4 is installed. I believe your suggested fix is correct.
Sorry about not providing console output of the crash. I assumed the bug was an obvious one. Probably the libgnomeprintui ebuild should contain: RDEPEND="=gnome-base/libgnomeprint-${PV}*" Instead of: RDEPEND=">=gnome-base/libgnomeprint-${PV}*"
crash i think of segfaults etc. Ebuilds can fail, i don't consider it 'crashing' anyway, i fixed the deps as proposed to be on the safe side. Thanks for your report.
