Apparently, though unproven, at 14:40 on Sunday 21 November 2010, Mick did

Keep in mind that e17 is in rapid flux, things change and the overlays don't 
always keep up. 

The master reference is the svn code - looking in e/src/modules/ sometimes 
reveals that a module was moved into the main e code-base. And other similar 
odd stuff happens from time to time.

These are still in the efl overlay. They appear to sort-of work but especially 
clock and forecasts are slated for removal/merging with something else

epsilon moved to ../OLD/ and should not be used

It was replaced by ethumb so the ebuilds you are using are broken.

You need ethumb, you should fix the ebuild

that's e16

You either has missing unmasks, or the ebuilds are broken. You want 
enlightenment:0.17

The ebuilds are broken. probably DEPENDing on

<package>-9999

instead of 

<package>-<sane version>

In light of the state of the project as a whole, you must now either fix the 
ebuilds and submit patches to the maintainer, or report the bug to the 
maintainer (not b.g.o.)

Two changes must now happen at the same time, possibly with dependencies being 
updated too.

The DEPEND needs e_dbus-9999 and you do not have an ebuild for it.

I think you are trying to use the ebuilds too soon. Maybe stick with efl a bit 
longer.
