dev-embedded/picptk-0.5a-r1 emerges fine. When you try to run it, it gives this error: # picptk Error in startup script: can't find package Iwidgets 3.0 while executing "package require Iwidgets 3.0" (file "/usr/bin/picptk" line 35) The portage has dev-tcltk/iwidgets-4.0.1 but not 3.0. dev-tcltk/iwidgets-4.0.1 is installed as a dependency to dev-embedded/picptk-0.5a-r1. Thank You For Your Time Reproducible: Always

Indeed, and Portage seems to never have had iwidgets-3.0, which is weird. A quick talk with robbat2 learned me that iwidgets-3.0 came with itcl at some point, but it appears it's not the case anymore. I hacked the code to bypass the iwidgets-3.0 requirement check, and see if it would run with iwidgets-4.0.1, but no dice. It crashes with all sorts of errors. So, we have a package that builds but doesn't run, and an upstream that looks dead to me. Whoever you are, if you know a way to fix this or have any interest at all in this package, please speak up now. If not, I'll post the usual last rites and pmask picptk in a week or so, for removal a month after that. Denis.
I have just pmasked dev-embedded as promised. Feel free to reopen this bug if you have a working solution. Denis.
