The ebuild for gnome-python-desktop has many dependencies - although I've got the information from the rox mailing list, that these dependencies aren't necessary, because the configure script for the bindings installs only bindings for installed libs I understand, that this might lead to problems because 1.if libs are installed later, bindings will not be updated.IMHO, it would be best to create an eclass for this, which would be referenced by the (current) dependencies, to test if the python bindings are installed and to eventually extend them. 2.version dependencies are checked at the time of emerging. A variable should be used for this, which could be tested in the eclass. To get this working, the currently installed version of the python bindings has to be checked, then the ebuild for this version has to be read and the version check variable has to be assigned from this ebuild and to be filtered for condition(s) of the currently emerged package. From this condition, it could be checked, if the added package is compatible; if not, an error has to be displayed. Reproducible: Always
