16 Regarding -r300 issue (I don't know much about ruby), I guess paludis
17 wants to install net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.8.1-r301 for example when nothing
18 is requiring any specific SLOT? What problems does it cause apart of
19 what would cause if ebuilds using gtk2 are RDEPENDing on plain
20 x11-libs/gtk+ without specifying any SLOT? In both cases gtk2 apps
21 should RDEPEND specifically in SLOTs for gtk2 support and gtk3 apps on
22 gtk3 slots.
