• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description a+gentoobugs 2004-03-23 03:59:16 UTC]

after emerging straw and its dependencies and trying to launch it i get the following error:

tgnb@hal tgnb $ straw
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/straw", line 30, in ?
    import straw
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/straw/__init__.py", line 17, in ?
    from Main import Main
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/straw/Main.py", line 16, in ?
    import gtkhtml2
ImportError: No module named gtkhtml2

here is my emerge info:

someone in the forums suggested re-emerging gnome-python fixed the problem for them. This did not solve it for me.

Add "gtkhtml" to USE flags and reemerge gnome-python.

Reemerging gnome-python with gtkhtml in the USE-Flags did the trick. Thanks for the suggestion.
How are such dependencies normally handled in portage?

thanks lukasz, i've updated the latest unstable to have a check for the gtkhtml2 module. thats the best we can do until portage has the feature of depending on packages merged with specific useflags
