Description Matthias Maier gentoo-dev 2014-10-25 22:55:08 UTC
media-libs/lcms:0 is unmaintained, has seen no releases since 2009, and (according to upstream) is affected by unspecified serious security issues. Please 

* either upgrade your package to use media-libs/lcms:2, 
* or hard-disable an optional dependency on media-libs/lcms:0, 
* or mask your package for removal.

Thank you!
Comment 1 Matthias Maier gentoo-dev 2014-12-08 23:18:59 UTC
As far as I understand, media-gfs/mate-image-viewer is dead upstream and only supported up to version mate release version 1.6. In releases 1.7 - 1.9 it is not present any more. Furthermore, there is media-gfx/eom as a viable alternative (maintained in mate releases 1.1 - 1.9).

So, I'd suggest to drop lcms support entirely and lastrite the package as soon as it is not maintainable any more.
Comment 2 Matthias Maier gentoo-dev 2014-12-20 18:35:33 UTC
mate 1.6 was obsoleted and removed from the tree.

With this media-gfx/ mate-image-viewer will also be removed (not part of mate 1.8 any more)
Comment 3 Sander Sweers 2014-12-23 19:38:49 UTC
There was a name change from mate-image-view to eom, not dead. The latter is now in the tree and supports lcms2 (https://github.com/mate-desktop/eom/commit/94214db85381f246290cfebb61de02aea2a441b3)
