Created attachment 562842 [details] emerge info as it is required I run calculate-linux (18.12 xfce edition) which is often referred to as a binary kind of gentoo. After installing soundconverter it refuses to start complaining about missing gconf. I resume it lacks it as a dependency which is not a real problem to solve but should it not be installable alongside with soundconverter as well? Is it possible to add gconf as a dependency for soundconverter so as not anyone has a problem like mine?
*** Bug 676258 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
soundconverter-3.0.0 has zero references and uses of gconf. I don't know why you think it needs it - it doesn't, to the best of my knowledge. Please provide some actual information on how it needs gconf.

It says something like that "SoundConverter 3.0.0 SoundConverter needs GTK >= 3.0 (Error: "Namespace GConf not available")" if you run it in a terminal.
Looking at it again from having kept this bug open in a tab to research again later, I've found a leftover "gi.require_version('GConf', '2.0')" from upstream indeed.
Please add gconf to the dependency. Soundconverter will bot run without it being installed.

GConf usage is about ancient gnome-media-profiles stuff, which we've removed over 5 years ago, it seems, thus no USE flag toggling of it. If it does find gconf introspection files, fine, it'll just gracefully try to find the gconf stored media profiles, not find them and not use gconf further.
