Attempting to emerge Thunar on a system using USE="-wayland" will fail. As I understand it, xfce-base/thunar expects xfce-base/exo to be built with Wayland support. xfce-base/exo and xfce-base/thunar have no "wayland" USE flag, and while xfce-base/exo will build fine without dev-libs/wayland present on the system, xfce-base/thunar will fail until xfce-base/exo is built with wayland support. Ideally, USE flags for both of these packages are provided to maintain a fully USE="-wayland" system, but in the meantime, a tl;dr temp solution: # manually build wayland dev libs and rebuild exo emerge dev-libs/wayland emerge xfce-base/exo # thunar now builds correctly on your USE="-wayland" system emerge xfce-base/thunar
There are three versions of thunar in the repo today, and we don't know when you last synced. The contents of 'emerge --info thunar' would answer both questions. :)
Hi Greg, Apologies, first report here. Here's some of the output of emerge --info thunar on my system. My account is new, and cannot post URLs, so I've culled a lot of this to what I *believe* is important.

I'm confused where this is coming from. Thunar definitely doesn't feature any references to wayland. exo seems to have an automagic dependency (which is definitely a bug), but FWIU it would only happen if you built GTK+ with USE=wayland.
I cannot seem to replicate this issue. I removed dev-libs/wayland (and a reverse dependency, being app-admin/bitwarden-desktop-bin), remerged xfce-base/exo, and remerged xfce-base/thunar expecting it to fail... but it didn't. For additional context, before creating this issue, I was using FEATURES="${FEATURES} getbinpkg", and had this exact same issue, so I removed getbinpkg, called emerge -uDN @world, and remerged xfce-base/thunar, only to receive the same error. I feel like this is probably something to do with binpkgs then, but I'm by no means educated with Portage, so take that with a grain of salt.
