Current versions of mail-client/geary can be build with <net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.21 but this version is no longer in portage. It is known upstream bug https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/issues/37 Possible fix should be to apply patches mentioned in upstream bug report to fix it until new version comes.
Unfortunately this patches make it need javascriptcoregtk-4.0.gir, which comes from vala-0.38 and newer, but we only have 0.36. error: Package `javascriptcoregtk-4.0' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories We'll need to wait and revisit once I'm ready to introduce newer vala to main tree :(
Hi, I see your bugreport because I have same problem. Is it possible to mask this software because it doesn't work ?
It'll work again soon. Waiting on new vala, which Gilles has worked on. It's pending giving a chance for others to review related vala.eclass changes.
