Gnome MPlayer is not dependent on any Gnome libraries. But the version bump for this package adds a mandatory dependency for dconf. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gnome-mplayer
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 383729 ***
Created attachment 290063 [details] ebuild modified with dconf dependency I'm not speaking about gconf but dconf, why marking it as duplicate. Furthermore, when gconf isn't installed gnome-mplayer doesn't use it. The behavior described happens when gconf is installed. But I think there is a step more to be done to disable gconf like: --disable-schemas (compile and install). But, as gtk2 is outdated, and gtk3 should only be considered, I submit you an ebuild, letting a greater choice to the user. Dconf shouldn't be mandatory, as said on the main page of the project, gnome-mplayer doesn't depend on gnome libs at all.
I wrote an email to the author of gnome-mplayer to ask him if keystore backend is still available. He replied that I seemed to be confused and that the keystore backend is still supported. One can use it with the ebuild I submitted in the duplicate ebuild. The author already said the compilation options about this should be clearer in next release (notably --enable-keystore) Dconf isn't mandatory as the keystore backend exists for this ebuild. Isn't gentoo policy is to let the user fine tune application at build time.
