Just a thought here but would it be worthwhile to just modify the |
| 24 |
ebuild? instead of |
| 25 |
RDEPEND =media-gfx/gimp-2.2* |
| 26 |
have this |
| 27 |
RDEPEND >=media-gfx/gimp-2.2* |
| 28 |
|

This would allow you to not have to downgrade gimp. Its a possibilty |
| 30 |
without more research I wouldnt be able to tell you if its the best |
| 31 |
solution or not though |
