Quoting comments <a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154102#c6">6</a> and <a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154102#c7">7</a> from <a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154102">bug #154102</a>: grip is a Gnome 2 application, and it doesn't require gnome-base/libghttp to live.
If you look at libghttp's ChangeLog, you'll see the following: 2004-03-11 Mike Oliphant <grip@nostatic.org> ... * discdb.c/configure.in: switched from ghttp to libcurl ... It's been out of the package for a long time, but nobody took the requirement out of the README file. I'm going to send grip and email about this. I don't suppose they've noticed this. Further, the only references to 'ghttp' in the source package are in documentation files.
Never mind about notifying grip's developers. He hasn't touched the source since 2005 as far as I can tell.
Then, grip doesn't really depend in gtk1, so, it shouldn't be reomoved from the tree. It works fine. Thanks

Also, grip may not have been updated in a year, but it does not require a single patch to work, and still works quite fine (it's gtk2/gnome2, not like old xmms).
In CVS thanks
Thanks a lot for unmasking it :-)
