I use Gnome, but I don't have esd installed. While performing regular update, epiphany-2.26.3-r1 failed. I've noticed that it printed the following: /bin/grep: /usr/lib/libesd.la: No such file or directory /bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libesd.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libesd.la' is not a valid libtool archive I guess it needs esd to compile. That's a bit strange. I think this package should work well without esd. But for people who use esd, it could support it via esd use flag. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure you don't have esd on your system. 2. emerge -1 '=www-client/epiphany-2.26.3-r1' Actual Results: Compilation fails.

Created attachment 204924 [details] The build.log from failed compilation.
Please use revdep-rebuild (app-portage/gentoolkit) to fix whatever packages were broken when you dropped the esd USE flag from your system. Thanks
