What has orca to do with it? Nothing in the tree depends on it. If you want it |
| 14 |
just add it to your world file (see --noreplace in `man emerge`). |

The gnome ebuild is just a meta package (essentially a virtual that nothing |
| 17 |
must depend on directly). It installs nothing itself. So if you want other |
| 18 |
packages that it does depend on with accessibility enabled just add those to |
| 19 |
your world file too... |
