libvirt has moved its python bindings out to libvirt-python and no longer provides a "python" use flag. I've made the following patch which allows installing the package against either package/version: --- /usr/portage/app-emulation/virtinst/virtinst-0.600.4.ebuild 2013-07-04 22:31:04.000000000 +1000 +++ app-emulation/virtinst/virtinst-0.600.4-r1.ebuild 2014-02-20 06:50:55.759651031 +1100 @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ LICENSE="GPL-2" SLOT="0" IUSE="" -RDEPEND=">=app-emulation/libvirt-0.7.0[python] +RDEPEND="|| ( >=app-emulation/libvirt-0.7.0[python] >=dev-python/libvirt-python-1.2.0 ) dev-python/urlgrabber dev-libs/libxml2[python]" DEPEND="${RDEPEND}"
Do I have to join the virtualization herd so as to do this? The ebuild also desperately requires a revbump -> distutils-r1 eclass
(In reply to Ian Delaney from comment #1) > Do I have to join the virtualization herd so as to do this? The ebuild also > desperately requires a revbump -> distutils-r1 eclass virtinst should actually go away. Upstream has merged virtinst into virt-manager and I provide the same functionality of virtinst by the following: USE=-gtk emerge virt-manager
I now see why this hasn't happened. I'm still waiting on the stabilization request of the version of virt-manager that actually incorporates that change.
On a fresh installation of habit put Gentoo. did emerge app-emulation/virtinst; read this bug. Result - +2 servers on ubuntu 14.04 P.S # USE=-gtk emerge virt-manager Calculating dependencies... done! The following USE changes are necessary to proceed: (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details) # required by app-emulation/virt-manager-0.10.0-r1 # required by virt-manager (argument) >=net-libs/gtk-vnc-0.5.3 python # required by app-emulation/virt-manager-0.10.0-r1 # required by virt-manager (argument) >=app-emulation/libvirt-glib-0.1.7 python # required by app-emulation/virt-manager-0.10.0-r1 # required by virt-manager (argument) >=net-misc/spice-gtk-0.21 python gtk3 Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring CONFIG_PROTECT). Carefully examine the list of proposed changes, paying special attention to mask or keyword changes that may expose experimental or unstable packages. !!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "x11-libs/gtk+:3[introspection]" has unmet requirements. - x11-libs/gtk+-3.10.8::gentoo USE="introspection -X (-aqua) -colord -cups -debug -examples (-packagekit) -test -vim-syntax -wayland -xinerama" The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied: any-of ( aqua wayland X )

app-emulation/virtinst was removed from the tree.
