emerge control-center gives the attached output
Created attachment 3081 [details] output from emerge control-panel
This is strange, since this is in control-center: DEPEND="${RDEPEND} >=dev-util/pkgconfig-0.12.0" Please verify the integrity of your pkgconfig install, if possible reinstall it.
I tried: # emerge rsync # emerge -C pkgconfig # emerge control-panel Calculating dependencies !!! Couldn't find match for control-panel; aborting. Now what is this?!
something very very wrong. emerge -pe gnome , see if it finds anything there
it seems emerge -C gconf; emerge gconf solved the issue
