I just tried emerge -p evince with all USE variables unset and it refuses to comply. Some dependencies suffer from "unmet requirements". Never mind. evince was made for Gnome users, which I'm not. I'll wait to see what gives re mcomix... (For viewing files for which a thumbnails-based index is not a must I'll just stick with zathura.) Regards Jorge

I do have elogind because sddm requires it (have been pondering if I should switch), but I don't have udisks or polkit, so those can at least be controlled with some USE variables. Regards, Arve

I've been using mcomix without problems. This is something new (I update my
system weekly and only noticed this problem today; well, I don't use mcomix
every week, but even so...)

Nope. I don't run a Gnome system, and evince pulls an absurd bunch of
dependencies, even with most USE variables unset ("absurd" as in: why would
I need elogind, udisks, polkit, etc. just to read a comic book or view a
pdf?). By the way: zathura works fine, with very few dependencies, and
reads comic books, as well as pdf/djvu files. But it doesn't offer that
handy index sidebar with thumbnails.
Thanks,
Jorge
