# equery depends media-libs/giflib

# emerge -puDv world

now gives the following result:

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

This is the cause of bug # 100801 and is probably also the cause of most of the
duplicate bugs attached to bug # 83238

If you perform emerge media-libs/ligungif and do _NOT_ specify the --update
option, libungif will compile. It was my understanding that this shouldn't
happen. Once libungif is emerged, then kdegraphics will compile so long as you
do _NOT_ use the --update option.

I question the correctness of this.

Also note that mplayer was already emerged on my system with no complaint about
missing ligungif.

This is because giflib blocks libungif but libungif does not block giflib. 
Please add a note about it at bug 85720 or open a new bug as this is not 
related to kdegraphics.

mplayer has a dependency on "giflib or libungif". See again bug 85720. 
 
There's nothing here that points out a problem in kdegraphics, as in the other 
bugs you mention the problem seems to be that imlib was linked against 
libungif and has to be recompiled against giflib before kdegraphics can be 
built. Please reopen if this is not the case.
