Current ebuild for mail-client/balsa-2.5.2 has an RDEPEND line "webkit? ( net-libs/webkit-gtk:3 )" but the emerge failed with "No package 'webkit2gtk-4.0' found". After manually installing webkit-gtk:4 (currently 2.6.5) balsa configured and installed without problems. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mail-client/balsa-2.5.2 2. 3. Actual Results: Error on configure, unless webkit-gtk:4 happens to be installed. Expected Results: REDEPEND would automatically pull in the required version of webkit-gtk. Note this is only an issue if USE includes webkit and not gtkhtml.

I just discovered an additional issue. In order to display the User's Guide (Balsa/Help menu) both yelp and yelp-tools are required. This ebuild already requires yelp-tools. If yelp is not present, there is no error or complaint during the emerge, just an error if you select that menu item. I don't know if yelp should simply be added as a requirement, or if it should be optional, possibly depending on a (new?) doc use flag. I'll be glad to file a separate bug, if that would be better for tracking rather than just including here. (I didn't have yelp, as I run a mostly KDE system, with minimal gnome pieces for a few gnome apps.)
