5 Well I don't see anything obviously wrong. I would probably take a
6 look at the output of
7 "emerge --debug --depclean --pretend world", and look for
8 net-libs/libsoup or gnome-base/gail. Both of them should appear as
9 dependancies of something. At the very least, they should appear
10 under gtkhtml. You might save that output (it will be large!), to
11 attach to the bug report if requested.
12
13 Just some quick notes on reading the debug output:
14
15 Depstring: lines are the combined dependancy string from the ebuild.
16 These should show libsoup and gail for gtkhtml.
17
18 Candidates: lines are for dependancies that need to be added as a
19 result of evaluating depstring. Once a package is added to the
20 dependancy tree, it will not be a candidate again for any other
21 package. So libsoup and gail should show up in exactly one Candidates
22 line, but not necessarily for gtkhml. In fact, gtkhtml will not show
23 a Candidates line if all dependancies are already part of the tree.
