Description Eric F. GARIOUD 2011-09-12 16:57:28 UTC 
The way the dependency on gcc is specified in the ebuild :
-------------------
RDEPEND="${DEPEND}
...
sys-devel/gcc:4.4
...}
-------------------
Does not take into account that gcc can be emerged +multislot, this leading the system to formally get a 4.4.x slot but not 4.4 slot.

This does not cause any trouble when building, as emerge whateverpackage seems to correctly handle this.

However, one cannot any longer process any emerge --depclean because of the following complaint :

* Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
 * the following required packages not being installed:
 *
 *   sys-devel/gcc:4.4 pulled in by:
 *     dev-util/nvidia-cuda-toolkit-4.0

despite I get a perfectly working and operational gcc-4.4.5


Reproducible: Always
