app-editors/vim-qt currently has in RDEPEND ">=app-editors/vim-core-7.4.560[acl?]", however, menus and various other issues appear when installed with vim-core-8.0. The code for vim-qt is hardcoded with version vim-7.4.560, and so it cannot find syntax.vim and other files in /usr/share/vim. It would look in /usr/share/vim/vim74, but that doesn't exist when 8.0 is installed. It seems there is an upstream request for supporting vim-8.0: https://bitbucket.org/equalsraf/vim-qt/issues/132/vim-80-is-not-suported Please adjust the app-editors/vim-qt's RDEPEND on vim-core to be ">=app-editors/vim-core-7.4.560[acl?] <app-editors/vim-core-8 ..."
That cannot be done as we only have vim-8 in the tree :/, hence, this would need to be treecleaned if cannot be fixed :|
I don't use this package and don't really care if it's removed but note that upstream seems to have quietly moved all work to their github mirror at https://github.com/equalsraf/vim-qt and it still seems to be active.
commit 1aff8d7da4e38c356c686ea05d9305317f12ca7f Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: Thu May 25 12:36:08 2017 Commit: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> CommitDate: Thu May 25 12:37:16 2017 app-editors/vim-qt: Remove last-rited pkg, #607136
Please note that as of upstream release 20170421 the package has been updated to work with Vim >=8.0.0030.
As posted, works fine here with vim-8.0.1056 and qt-5.9.2
