My USE Flags are rather extensive, but include "-arts" as I do not use arts. When emerging knetscan, the configure dies due to lack of arts, without taking into account that it is not supposed to be building with arts support (See below). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="-arts" emerge kde-meta (if kde not installed) 2 USE="-arts" emerge knetscan Actual Results: # emerge -vp knetscan: [ebuild N ] net-analyzer/knetscan-1.0 -arts -debug -kdeenablefinal -xinerama # emerge knetscan [configures.....] checking for mcopidl... not found configure: error: The important program mcopidl was not found!

Oh, and, myconf="--without-arts" didn't help either.
netmon herd: Most often the software doesn't use arts and it's just the configure check to be removed via a patch, but this package looks dead upstream...
Created attachment 74586 [details, diff] knetscan-1.0-configure-arts.patch David, do you mind testing out this patch?
Please reopen after having tested the patch.
Patching configure file is a no-go. I have two ways to resolve this: either you force arts with ARTS_REQUIRED="yes", or you need to update the admin dir.. I can prepare an ebuild for that later today, just a second that I'm messed up in the autoconf 2.59d debacle.
Hoping that net-analyzer won't be upset, I've added a 1.0-r1 in ~arch that uses the 3.5.3 admindir and thus solves the problem.
