I killed the build process so I could look at the tempdir contents (why doesn't "FEATURES=noclean emerge -aqv app-office/glabels" work ?). Looking at (PORTAGE_TMPDIR def. is /var/tmp) # cat $PORTAGE_TMPDIR/portage/app-office/glabels-3.4.1/temp/build.log ... checking for LIBGLABELS... yes checking for LIBGLBARCODE... yes checking for Barcode_Create in -lbarcode... no checking for ZBarcode_Render in -lzint... no checking for LIBQRENCODE... yes checking for LIBIEC16022... no checking locale.h usability... yes ...

So, glabels tries to use barcode, but there is no lib found. Looking at /var/db/pkg/app-text/barcode-0.99/CONTENTS, I see that barcode doesn't provide a lib. $ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/barcode.git $ cd barcode $ cat library.c ... struct Barcode_Item *Barcode_Create(char *text) { struct Barcode_Item *bc; bc = malloc(sizeof(*bc)); if (!bc) return NULL; memset(bc, 0, sizeof(*bc)); bc->ascii = strdup(text); bc->margin = BARCODE_DEFAULT_MARGIN; /* default margin */ return bc; } ... So Barcode_Create() exists, but barcode doesn't build the needed library.
As of version 0.99, GNU Barcode no longer installs its library. So install 0.98 from source: ``` wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/barcode/barcode-0.98.tar.gz tar xzf barcode-0.98.tar.gz cd barcode-0.98/ ./configure && make sudo make install I grab my old ebuild: app-text/barcode-0.98-r1 make an overlay, manifest it and installed; re-install the "glabels" and GNU Barcode shows up in the Menu. Ps. I think Gentoo maintainers are too fast in removing working packages from the portage tree with new version that don't work. Removing working packages generates more traffic on Gentoo bug list.

It's an upstream bug, it seems. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-barcode/2020-01/msg00000.html FYI: this version was added on 25h Feb 2017, stabled on 27th November 2020 for amd64, then the older version was removed on 27th November 2020.
Coming from https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/message/324bcde6976740c43c5bc4adae2669e5 I found this bug. I do not know why you close this bug!? I would consider building (the old version) from source as a workaround. This will clutter the filesystem with files outside of the control of the package manager. At least configure to install in /usr/local Maybe there is a way to re enable building the library for the 0.99 version. I played around with barcode-0.99 a bit and made it installing the library again. I tested the gnu barcode backend in glabels which also seems fine. The changes may not be perfect but probably are a starting point. In the long run it seems there will be glabels-qt which apparently comes with its own barcode code. Another option would be using zint for barcode generation which seems better maintained than gnu barcode but unfortunately is not in the portage tree. Not going to dive deeper into this. I just stumbled over it and had nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon ;-)

Probably the upstream patch should be used instead of mine. It looks a bit saner regarding gettext.
Also with the removal of 0.98 there is a stale patch in $FILEDSIR.
I think this is more a bug in app-text/barcode instead of app-office/glabels. However it also affects glabels as barcode handling with app-text barcode is automagic.
