Someone reported this earlier with Fontconfig too. Issue with new setuptools or python "external installation" stuff from earlier today?
It looks like this happens when dev-python/packaging-23.0 and dev-python/setuptools-66.1.1 are installed together. Downgrading to dev-python/packaging-21.3-r2 or upgrading to dev-python/setuptools-67.0.0 resolves the issue. The packaging and setuptools versions are normally enforced by dependencies in the setuptools ebuild. However, since gst-plugins-base does not declare any dependency on dev-python/setuptools, Portage decided on the following merge order on my system: 1. dev-python/packaging-23.0 2. media-libs/gst-plugins-base-1.20.5 3. dev-python/setuptools-67.0.0
If you're hitting this, please run: emerge -v1 dev-python/setuptools. This was/is caused by some now-removed versions of setuptools in ~arch. Current stable and ~arch versions are OK. There's no easy way to force ~arch users to get the right version, as we can't just simply add a >= dep in the eclass, as we haven't stabled a new enough version yet, but stable users were also never affected by the bad versions. We may add a || ( ... ) dep in the eclass for now given this is such a pain.
The bug has been referenced in the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=50546c3db84904399e5624eb8f163e3d2be284e3 commit 50546c3db84904399e5624eb8f163e3d2be284e3 Author: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2023-02-09 18:19:38 +0000 Commit: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2023-02-09 18:22:36 +0000 distutils-r1.eclass: adjust setuptools dep to avoid known-bad versions 79071eb9f6f4a5725c1a89700bcfd7f120101179 tried to mitigate this but blockers don't affect dependency resolution (ordering), so let's add a || ( <dev-python/setuptools-... >=dev-python/setuptools-...) dep in the eclass to ensure that the bad in-between versions (which were in ~arch, not stable, for a period, and are no longer in tree) aren't considered good enough to install any distutils-r1 PEP517 packages. We can clean this up once newer setuptools is stable & then simplify (and tighten) the dep. (Worth keeping in mind that Portage (rightly) doesn't aggressively update things listed in RDEPEND in that order simply because they're in RDEPEND. It might update something listed in RDEPEND after the package listing it provided there's no >= or otherwise dep.)
