Yes, it sets a dependency on =dev-lang/v8-3.17*. What is wrong with that? The "latest" www-client/chromium in the tree would be 29.0.1547.15 so it's a good thing I changed the Summary, I guess.

[Comment 7 Boon Hian Tek 2013-07-12 00:11:59 UTC]

I am actually not sure if this is a real bug or just that the latest chromium doesn't work with the latest v8.

I was just following the guide from http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1 saying the below. :)

It is also possible that two packages that are yet to be installed are blocking each other. In this rare case, you should find out why you need to install both. In most cases you can do with one of the packages alone. If not, please file a bug on Gentoo's bugtracking system.

Again, what you are calling the "latest chromium (27.0.1453.110) clearly isn't the latest.

In the stable branch, it's 28.0.1500.71.

In the unstable branch, it's 28.0.1500.89.

Then there is an even higher masked branch populated by 29.0.1547.0 and 29.0.1547.15.

If that's not good enough, there is a by now quite wobbly branch of ebuilds that could fall over any second, which is both masked and de-keyworded, populated by a very brave 9999-r1 ebuild.

Doubtlessly, with all that in place, there must have been some kind of mistake in setting v8 dependencies.

[Comment 9 Mike Gilbert 2013-07-12 02:09:16 UTC]

You'll have to upgrade to chromium-28 if you want that version of v8.
