Description b.eggleston 2005-06-15 08:08:15 UTC 
libungif is a dependency on a number of installed packages (mplayer, latex2html), and is required to build  
kuickshow (although equery depends libungif does not say so!). Emerge depclean removes libungif,  
breaking kuickshow. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -uD --newuse world  
2. emerge depclean  
3. emerge kuickshow (or run the previously compiled version)  
 
  
Actual Results:  
Kuickshow does not compile or run complaining about missing libungif.so.4  

Expected Results:  
Kuickshow should compile, or run. 

Manually emerging libungif fixes the problem

1/ Read the big fat warning when running depclean. Also, please search before
filing bugs.

2/ No, kuickshow does not need libungif and does not depend on it, it depends on
imlib that will happily work with giflib, so you just need to re-emerge imlib.

3/ libungif will hopefully go to /dev/null soon (see Bug 85720).
