After running emerge sync at 12:00 pm CST July 23rd, 2004, and then running emerge -uD --ask world I recieved the following error message emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "x11-wm/gnustep-env". !!! Problem with ebuild x11-wm/afterstep-1.8.11-r2 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge sync 2.emerge -uD --ask world 3. Actual Results: Error as described above. Expected Results: emerge should have finished the dependency check. After searching for bugs on afterstep and on gnustep-env I found that gnustep-env is in gnustep-base/gnustep-env not x11-wm/gnustep-env. I modified afterstep-1.8.11-r2.ebuild's Depends section from x11-wm/gnustep-env to gnustep-base/gnustep-env. I placed the severity of the bug at Major because even though it stops emerge from finishing the solution is a simple change in the ebuild depends, however first time users wouldn't know where to look or how to fix a broken ebuild.
Looks like Mr_bones took care of this. Thanks.
