None of the high-versioned > packages you need (glib, gtk+) are in the regular tree. Looks like my sync yesterday was behind. Today's sync gives me the same error you got. Latest unstable gtk+-2.24.0 DEPENDS on >=dev-libs/glib-2.27.3 (hard masked). $PORTDIR/profiles/package.mask lists >=dev-libs/glib-2.27 =x11-libs/gtk+-2.24 So the gtk+ line is wrong. It should be either ">=" or version "2.24.0" Pacho fixed it http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354275 so a resync again should resolve your issue > > > So what am I missing here, or is something broke? > > > > Thanks much for any help you can give. > > My guess is something in the overlay depends on a version of gtk+ that > isn't in the overlay yet, except for the dev versions *99*.
