Trying to emerge scrot.. which depends on giblib, though giblib also depends imlib, and errors about imlib needing a X use flag wich was supplied though does not fix. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.USE=X emerge imlib imlib2 2.emerge giblib 3.error Actual Results: ./usr/share/doc/ ./usr/share/doc/giblib-1.2.4/ ./usr/share/doc/giblib-1.2.4/README.gz ./usr/share/doc/giblib-1.2.4/AUTHORS.gz ./usr/share/doc/giblib-1.2.4/ChangeLog.gz >>> Done. >>> extracting info gcc: /var/tmp/portage-pkg/giblib-1.2.4/inf/files/imlib-x-test.c: No such file or directory !!!
