dev-libs/libayatana-appindicator and dev-libs/libayatana-indicator are the only appindicators implementation that are still maintained and developed, while libappindicator are unmaintained for ages. Sadly, slack is still trying to use old one, this caused breakage in other distributions that migrated as Debian, but I cannot find slack bug tracker to see the progress on this issue. On the other hand, the problem is easy to workaround: slack will try to load /opt/slack/libappindicator3.so before anything else. I have then tried to simply symlink /opt/slack/libappindicator3.so to /usr/lib64/libayatana-appindicator3.so , and it works fine as both are interchangeable --- slack-4.28.182.ebuild 2022-11-28 15:10:20.000000000 +0100 +++ slack-4.29.149.ebuild 2023-03-02 13:59:40.849692777 +0100 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -# Copyright 1999-2022 Gentoo Authors +# Copyright 1999-2023 Gentoo Authors # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 EAPI=8 @@ -43,7 +43,7 @@ x11-libs/libxkbfile:0[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] x11-libs/libXrandr:0[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] x11-libs/pango:0[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] - appindicator?
