> Symbolic link /opt/Pulsar/resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/tree-sitter-bash/build/node_gyp_bins/python3 points to /usr/bin/python3 which does not exist. Does a RDEPEND on dev-lang/python-exec[native-symlinks] makes sense?
No, please don't do that. Depending on python is explicitly forbidden by a QA rule: https://projects.gentoo.org/qa/policy-guide/languages.html#pg0501 Please check if the symlink is actually used, you might be able to simply remove it in src_install. If it really is needed, please read the python guide https://projects.gentoo.org/python/guide/single.html and depend on python correctly, then fix the symlink to point to the proper python interpreter (something like dosym -r "${PYTHON}" "${$ED}"/opt/Pulsar/blahblahblah/python3 ) btw, from build log you also need to depend on x11-libs/libxkbcommon: * QA Notice: Unresolved soname dependencies: * * /opt/Pulsar/pulsar: libxkbcommon.so.0 * Thank you.

It's not a symlink created explicitly by the ebuild Though, a quick search around the web shows - https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2713 - seems like part of the build process and not the run process - https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash - python seems unused in here And a quick test by removing the directory nothing seems broken. I think I'll remove the symlink and the containing directory (the symlink is the only file inside) in the ebuild. > btw, from build log you also need to depend on x11-libs/libxkbcommon: Thanks for noting.
