gnome-bluetooth-0.8.0 doesn't quite work so I downgraded to 0.7.1-r1, which wouldn't compile (too few arguments to function `btctl_controller_discover_devices') and other errors. googling led me to also downgrade libbtctl to the previous version, 0.6.0-r1, which enables gnome-bluetooth 0.7.1-r1 to compile and install cleanly. (Note gnome-bluetooth 0.7.1-r1 doesn't exhibit Bug 157600.) the gnome-bluetooth-0.7.1-r1 has the dependancy >=net-wireless/libbtctl-0.6.0-r1 but perhaps it should be =net-wireless/libbtctl-0.6.0-r1 So, in summary, this works: net-wireless/gnome-bluetooth-0.7.0-r1 net-wireless/libbtctl-0.6.0-r1 this doesn't: net-wireless/gnome-bluetooth-0.7.0-r1 net-wireless/libbtctl-0.8.1 emerge --info: Portage 2.1.2_rc3-r6 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.19-suspend2-r1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.19-suspend2-r1 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.7 Last Sync: Tue, 19 Dec 2006 01:30:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.31 dev-lang/python: 2.3.6, 2.4.4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/gentoo/ http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo ftp://ftp.swin.edu.au/gentoo ftp://gg3.net/pub/linux/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.ccccom.com ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo" LANG="en_AU.UTF-8" LINGUAS="en_AU en en_GB en_US" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/overlays/xgl-coffee /usr/local/overlays/gnome-experimental" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac acpi aiglx alsa apache2 arts berkdb bitmap-fonts cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dlloader dri eds elibc_glibc emboss encode esd ffmpeg foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal iconv imlib input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_synaptics ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kernel_linux libg++ libwww linguas_en linguas_en_AU linguas_en_GB linguas_en_US mad mikmod motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl pam pcre perl png pppd python quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session smb spell spl ssl tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev userland_GNU video_cards_ati video_cards_fbdev video_cards_fglrx video_cards_radeon video_cards_vesa vorbis xml xorg xv zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS thanks!

I'm marking this as a duplicate of the other one, because ideally that's what you want to do is use the later libbtctl which fixed the sanity check (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372454) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 157600 ***
