I was wondering why emerging dvdrip wanted to build gnomelibs and traced it to gdk-pixbuf. The ebuild contains: <clip> RDEPEND="... >=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2-r1" # We need gnome-libs here, else gnome support do not get compiled into # gdk-pixbuf (the GnomeCanvasPixbuf library ) </clip> The dependency should use gnome USE flag instead. I removed the gnome-libs from the dependency list. Nothing broke, no gnome support, dvdrip works. Fix is simple: RDEPEND="... gnome? >=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2-r1" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -p dvdrip 2. 3. Actual Results: Gnome libs in the dependancy list. Expected Results: I have USE="-gnome" and gnome-libs is only needed for gnome support so it should not have been in the deps list.

and they will continue to do so until we can specify that such and such with so-and-so USE flag is a dependency. Until then, your best bet is to edit the gdk-pixbuf ebuild, unfortunately
ok. since gdk-pixbuf doesn't update too frequently, it's not really a pain in the ass once the latest version is installed. and my need for it seems to limit to dvdrip.
