When insall xfce-extra/xfce4-sensors-plugin , portage says I have to do downgrade nvidia drivers. This may be due to dependence "video_cards_nvidia? (Media-video /nvidia-settings)". The new version of nvidia-dricver do not use "media-video/nvidia-settings" it is already integrated in the package using the flag "tools" thaks Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update nvidia drivers to version 355.11 2. Try install xfce-extra/xfce4-sensors-plugin 3.

See bug #561290. =media-video/nvidia-settings-355.11 and =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-355.11-r2 need to be stabilized.
I think nvidia-settings is basically a dead package for later versions of the driver. The code should probably look something like this: # diff xfce4-sensors-plugin-1.2.6.ebuild.orig xfce4-sensors-plugin-1.2.6.ebuild 26c26,30 < video_cards_nvidia? ( media-video/nvidia-settings )" --- > video_cards_nvidia? ( || > ( media-video/nvidia-settings > >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-346.96[tools] > ) > )" I tested this locally and it no longer tries to downrev, but please double check as I'm only getting back to gentoo after a 8+ year hiatus. (I found this solution based on a similar bug/suggestion on conky. see bug 561268)
sigh, scratch that. With the suggestion above we run into the same problem as the conky bug: make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... In file included from middlelayer.c:55:0: ../include/nvidia.h:27:27: fatal error: NVCtrl/NVCtrl.h: No such file or directory #include <NVCtrl/NVCtrl.h> ^ compilation terminated. Makefile:580: recipe for target 'libxfce4sensors_la-middlelayer.lo' failed make[2]: *** [libxfce4sensors_la-middlelayer.lo] Error 1
Is this still an issue since bug #561268 was fixed? If so, please attach the full build log (if you get that far).
