comment from ebuild gtk+-: # introspection.m4 is in the tarball, so gobject-introspection-common is not needed This is not true with gtk+-2.24.21. In gtk+-2.24.20 sources introspection.m4 is available. On my system I don't have gobject-introspection-common and gobject-introspection because none of my packages requires this dependency. Reproducible: Always

Upstream had provided introspection.m4 in source tarballs for <=gtk+-2.24.20. Why the change in 2.24.21, I wonder :/ Thanks for reporting. + 07 Oct 2013; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> gtk+-2.24.21.ebuild: + 2.24.21 tarball doesn't have introspection.m4 (bug #487220, thanks to + wojtek).
