Probably missing (?)depend(s) for dev-util/itstool…?

After manually emerging dev-util/itstool emerging gnome-extra/gucharmap was without complaints

Thanks for taking the time to report this problem.
This issue has already been filed as bug #448810 and is already resolved.
It should have hit rsync mirrors by now so just run emerge --sync.
