while trying to emerge gnome 2.4 emerge died on gconf-2.4.0.1, beacuse it didn't find liblinc.so.1.0.0. "emerge linc" solved the problem Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge unmerge linc 2.emerge gconf Actual Results: ebuild fails Expected Results: should have emerged gconf should be solved by making gconf depend on linc
nah some other lib still has a reference to liblinc, while you removed linc for some reason (it did once exist on your system obviously). gconf doesn't need linc directly.
