Description lain 2004-12-21 18:45:26 UTC

I emerged gimp-2.2 today and found that it requires media-libs/freetype-2.1.7 or higher. Freetype is masked above 2.1.5-r1 in /usr/portage/profile/package.mask.

Compiling The GIMP 2.2 is fine, but produces an error message upon first run about requiring freetype-2.1.7 or higher.

I removed the mask and emerged Freetype-2.1.9 and it ran fine, however I am wary as the package.mask comment said it 'breaks things'. Could someone investigate?

I get the same thing on both AMD64 and IA32.

Same here

Comment 3 MAL 2004-12-22 05:51:58 UTC

What's more, why isn't freetype a dependency of gimp at all?  I can't see it referenced in the gimp-2.2.0 ebuild.  It should be in there as:

>=media-libs/freetype-2.1.7

Fixed in CVS.
