Description Ryan Lortie 2004-12-19 13:05:56 UTC

gdk-pixbuf is currently unconditionally dependant on gnome-libs which makes it impossible to install certain gtk1 apps without pulling in gnome 1.

I don't think anybody even uses gnome 1 anymore....

Anyway.. it can be fixed by wrapping a gnome? ( ) around the dependancy which then at least allows you to use -gnome in package.use.

It is even noted in the ebuild why this was done :

# We need gnome-libs here, else gnome support do not get compiled into
# gdk-pixbuf (the GnomeCanvasPixbuf library )
