Does virt-manager really depend on dev-python/libgnome-python ? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I wanted virt-manager without a cascade of gnome dependencies, so I built it without dev-python/libgnome-python installed. Actual Results: I encountered no buildtime or runtime failures.

Created attachment 213394 [details, diff] Remove dev-python/libgnome-python from RDEPEND
dropped the depend in 0.8.4, looks like it wasn't removed in the 0.8.x series when that came out.
