Hello, Although gnome-extra/contacts-0.12 (i.e. the only version presently in Portage) does not strictly require GNOME-VFS to be present (it is only needed for GNOME-integrated vCard import), it does not emerge if the system hasn't got gnome-base/gnome-vfs. Apparently the configure script of contacts only disables gnome-vfs support when explicitly passed --disable-gnome-vfs. The present form of the ebuild neither specifies gnome-base/gnome-vfs as a dependency nor disables / allows disabling GNOME-VFS support. IMHO the best way of addressing this problem would be to employ USE=gnome: if it is set make contacts depend on gnome-vfs, otherwise pass --disable-gnome-vfs to configure. Reproducible: always Steps to reproduce: make sure gnome-base/gnome-vfs is not present in the system, then emerge gnome-extra/contacts-0.12. Expected result: emerge is successful. Observed result: emerge fails at the configuration stage, complaining about not being able to find GNOME-VFS.
Created attachment 263697 [details] contacts-0.12.ebuild using USe=gnome to enable/disable GNOME-VFS support
Given that the current policy is to hard disable gnome-vfs, better solution would be a patch porting the app to gio.
+ 25 Feb 2011; Gilles Dartiguelongue <eva@gentoo.org> contacts-0.12.ebuild: + Fix incomplete rdepends and use switches, bug #356317. + The ebuild was actually more broken than that, everything should be in order now. Thanks for reporting.
