While trying to pare my system down to as little as possible, I ended up unmerging pkgconfig (along with a lot of other stuff). revdep-rebuild advised me to rebuild gaim, so I tried, but discovered that it wouldn't work without pkgconfig. Obviously this just needs to get added into the DEPEND in the ebuild. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge unmerge pkgconfig 2. merge gaim 3. Actual Results: gaim failed the configuration step. Expected Results: emerge should have reinstalled pkgconfig as a dependency of gaim.
Fixed in CVS. Good call.
