i had  libgtkhtml-3.2.3  &  yelp-2.6.4  installed,
the 2nd for Xscreensaver, & was told by 'revdep-rebuild' to re-emerge 'yelp'.
when i tried to do this, it gave  libgtkhtml-2.6.0  as a dependency
& indeed when i tried 'emerge --nodeps yelp' it refused to compile.
after 'emerge yelp' & installing  libgtkhtml-2.6.0  besides  -3.2.3 ,
i tried 'qpkg' to see what it had to say about dependencies & got :

    gnome-extra/libgtkhtml-2.6.0 *
      DEPENDED ON BY:
        libgtkhtml-3.2.3
        yelp-2.6.4
    gnome-extra/libgtkhtml-3.2.3 *
      DEPENDED ON BY:
        libgtkhtml-3.2.3
        yelp-2.6.4

how can Libgtkhtml depend on itself ??
why does Yelp need both slotted versions ??

does anyone have any light to throw ... (smile) ?

BTW i don't use Gnome, but install whatever bits other packages need.
