For example, mysql-workbench currently has the dependency >=dev-libs/gtkmm-2.14, but I already have an ebuild for gtkmm from the 3.0 slot (gnome overlay). checking for GNOME... no configure: error: Package requirements (libglade-2.0 gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.8) were not met: No package 'gtkmm-2.4' found $ eix -e gtkmm [I] dev-cpp/gtkmm Available versions: (1.2) {M}1.2.9-r2 (2.4) 2.18.2{tbz2} 2.20.3{tbz2} 2.22.0 (~)2.23.91[1] (3.0) (~)2.99.6{tbz2}[1] {debug doc examples test} Installed versions: 2.99.6(3.0){tbz2}[1](13:38:39 03/18/11)(doc examples -test) Homepage: http://www.gtkmm.org Description: C++ interface for GTK+2 [1] "gnome" /var/lib/layman/gnome Apparently inkscape is an example of an ebuild that has this corrected: media-gfx/inkscape-0.48.0 (>=dev-cpp/gtkmm-2.18.0:2.4) Reproducible: Always
A mail was already sent to gentoo-dev mailing list asking people to set proper slot in ebuilds, but this will take a lot of time (as there are a ton of ebuilds to fix) In summary -> this is in progress (sad "LATER" resolution was dropped :-S)
