It sounds a dependency is missing in x11-libs/libXau-1.0.5.ebuild: * Running elibtoolize in: libXau-1.0.5 * Applying portage-2.2.patch ... * Applying sed-1.5.6.patch ... * Applying as-needed-2.2.6.patch ... checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes ... ... checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for XAU... configure: error: Package requirements (xproto) were not met: No package 'xproto' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XAU_CFLAGS and XAU_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. Reproducible: Always
While it may be a valid bug, at the same time I get the feeling you got hit by 'emerge --depclean'.
No, it was a complete rebuild so I didn't use depclean.
The dependency is there. Nothing for us to fix. Thanks

Actually, you're hitting a portage bug. In any case, nothing for us to fix, the ebuild states the dep correctly. Thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 199856 ***
