Description pavel zaitsev 2002-05-23 01:26:33 UTC

Once installing gimp, gtk-perl was being pulled in. emerge panicked,
trying to load 'subpackage' gdkpixbuf, suggesting that it guessed a wrong name.

sorry no error source.

do you have gdk-pixbuf?

Comment 2 Ian Goldby 2002-05-24 16:49:14 UTC

I had the same problem. It seems that gdk-pixbuf is a dependency of gtk-perl,  
but it's not mentioned in the ebuild. I added media-libs/gdk-pixbuf as a  
dependency in my local copy of  
portage/dev-perl/gtk-perl/gtk-perl-0.7008-r3.ebuild and then gtk-perl built  
without further problems. Suggest that this is corrected in the official  
distribution. 
 
(I have the -gnome USE setting, in case that is relevant.)

Thanks for that Ian. I have added it as a dep and things should work in the -r4
release :)
