it is wrong https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/gnome-extra/cinnamon/cinnamon-3.4.6.ebuild#n83 cinnamon really not depend on dconf, but this package can. what required to add IUSE="doc +gconf ipv6 systemd gtkstyle" COMMON_DEPEND=" ....... # if really i don't know wat required to add for qt dependencies because i'm not so good with qt :) " # i believe it depend on python-xapp RDEPEND="${COMMON_DEPEND} cinnamon/python-xapp " DEPEND="${COMMON_DEPEND} gconf? ( gnome-base/gconf ) " src_configure() { $(use_enable gconf) \ $(usex gtkstyle --enable-qt57-theme-support) "
Hopefully someone from cinnamon team has an idea about what this is about.
What requires gconf support for cinnamon? If it would be possible to disable old gconf support completely that would be even better
this version no more present in portage
