the plugin rdepends on evolution, that is the one needing gtkhtml
Also, you cannot expect things to keep working after manually unmerging random packages. I think the dep is correct as explained in previous comment
Hi Pacho, I know that randomly unmerging packages breaks stuff :-) However, I would have not opened a bug if this was my fault. emerge --depclean unmerges gtkhtml on my machine (I have evolution-ews in my world file). That's why I suggested that -ews should rdepend on it. If -ews rdepends on evolution, then please add gtkhtml as a dep for evolution.

Hm, strange. Any idea on why --depclean want's to unmerge gtkhtml? # emerge -a --depclean * Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious * mistakes. Packages that are part of the world set will always * be kept. They can be manually added to this set with * `emerge --noreplace <atom>`. Packages that are listed in * package.provided (see portage(5)) will be removed by * depclean, even if they are part of the world set. * * As a safety measure, depclean will not remove any packages * unless *all* required dependencies have been resolved. As a * consequence, it is often necessary to run `emerge --update * --newuse --deep @world` prior to depclean. Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Calculating removal order... >>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: gnome-extra/gtkhtml selected: 4.8.3 protected: none omitted: none All selected packages: gnome-extra/gtkhtml-4.8.3 >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. # grep evolution-ews /var/lib/portage/world gnome-extra/evolution-ews If you need more information I'll be happy to provide them.
What does: $ equery d gtkhtml * These packages depend on gtkhtml: mail-client/evolution-3.12.4 (>=gnome-extra/gtkhtml-4.5.2:4.0) output?
I cannot explain it. work mike # equery d gtkhtml * These packages depend on gtkhtml: work mike #
Are you sure you are using the mail-client/evolution ebuilds from the tree? They both contain gtkhtml dependency (please check if you ebuilds do)
Ha! That's it. I'm using the evolution 3.13.3 ebuild from the gnome overlay, and this does not depend von gtkhtml. Maybe you could ping Gilles Dartiguelongue and let him know, or is it Priit Laes?
Will reopen the bug as they will get it. Anyway, the bug will likely be fixed in next upstream release as I remember some fixes were committed recently to really drop gtkhtml usage
I think plaes is doing that evolution related work in overlay

Maybe you could ping Gilles > Dartiguelongue and let him know, or is it Priit Laes? evolution-3.13 has removed gtkhtml support in favor of webkit-gtk.
But not completely. Anyway, next version will include: https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=a1f29eb3043c123dfc3da3f87f0f21c061ef0486 and some others that really drop it completely ;)
Ok, so the problem that I am having right now is, that I have evolution 3.13.3 installed, which does not depend on gtkhtml, and evolution-ews 3.12.4 which still needs gtkhtml to compile. But I guess that dependency will be obsolete with -ews 3.13.x Thank you for the help guys.
The problem is that the .pc file provided in evolution-3.13.3 is still requiring gtkhtml (and, then, it should strictly depend on gtkhtml). But it's really a bug that was fixed by upstream git and, then, next version not depending on gtkhtml at all won't have this problem
