kde-misc/synaptiks-0.8.0 ebuild incorrectly supports python 3. There isn't any support for python 3 in synaptiks 0.8.0 as noted on the home page. You need to change the ebuild to only support python < 3. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 290151 [details, diff] synaptiks-0.8.0.ebuild.patch Patches 0.8.0 ebuild so that it only checks for python support < 3.
Fixed, thanks!
*** Bug 389933 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
It appears this bug still exists. After some investigation, the fix for 0.8.0 on Oct 18 is not enough to restrict this ebuild to < python 3. If I eselect python 3, it will still attempt to compile with python 3 which is probably what Bug 389933 is about. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/Python/developersguide.xml states that SUPPORT_PYTHON_ABIS="1" must be set when supporting multiple python versions. It appears adding this actually forces compilation with a supported version.

Thanks. Fixed in other way. Sync in some hours.
kde-misc/synaptiks-0.8.1 has regressed. It will only emerge if the python interpretor is set to 2.x. If set to 3.x the emerge fails every time on my ~amd64 laptop.
