The ebuild for dev-lang/hy-0.12.1 does not specify specify that clint should be >= to version 0.4, so if 0.3.1-r1 is installed Hy will fail with an error message that clint>=0.4 is required. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install dev-lang/hy with dev-python/clint-0.3.1-r1 2. Start hy REPL at command prompt Actual Results: Error Expected Results: REPL starts successfully
That's an amusing bug, takes a bit of skill to find it :) It's fixed in 0.12.1
