I installed this package while not knowing why. ;-) I just followed the einfo() and am puzzled what is wrong with the shell-script it installed. * Messages for package gnustep-base/gnustep-back-art-0.18.0: * To use this package, as *user* you should run: * /usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/Gentoo/config-gnustep-back-art.sh [cut] $ /usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/Gentoo/config-gnustep-back-art.sh Applying gnustep-back-art-0.18.0 default configuration ... * setting normal font to DejaVuSans /usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/Gentoo/config-gnustep-back-art.sh: line 36: defaults: command not found * setting bold font to DejaVuSans-Bold /usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/Gentoo/config-gnustep-back-art.sh: line 38: defaults: command not found * setting fixed font to DejaVuSansMono /usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/Gentoo/config-gnustep-back-art.sh: line 40: defaults: command not found done $
defaults is a binary from gnustep-base, a dependency of gnustep-back-art. So you should have it on your system? Try to run env-update and try again in a new shell, it may help (if the environment was not up-to-date)
Re-emerging gnustep-back-art did not show any errors anymore (yes, after some reboots and env-updates meanwhile).
Glad it's working for you! I'll check if it's worth to add a log feature on first install (if that was indeed the problem)
