While emerging the GIMP I noticed that portage wanted to emerge also the GNOME 1.4 libraries. I do not want these. I then traced the dependency down to the package media-libs/gdk-pixbuf. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge -p gdk-pixbuf without having gnome-base/gnome-libs installed and with having the gnome USE flag unset. Actual Results: gnome-libs is on the list of the packages that are to be emerged. Expected Results: gnome-libs should not be on the list of the packages that are to be emerged. I modified the ebuild so that the gnome-base/gnome-libs would only be a dependency if the gnome USE flag was set. gdk-pixbuf emerged just fine and until now I did not have any problems with the GIMP. Here is the patch to the ebuild. --- gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0.ebuild.old 2004-02-09 21:30:32.000000000 +0100 +++ gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0.ebuild 2004-02-09 21:30:32.000000000 +0100 @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ inherit virtualx libtool gnome.org -IUSE="doc" +IUSE="doc gnome" S=${WORKDIR}/${P} DESCRIPTION="GNOME Image Library" HOMEPAGE="http://www.gtk.org/" @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ media-libs/tiff =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2* >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.1 - >=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2-r1" + gnome?

search please and there's actually a comment there which explains the situation *sigh* (even in the diff) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 2272 ***
