Evince is not masked in the gentoo repo, but the 44.1 version is keyworded with the ~amd64 keyword. This means that the line you put in package.unmask actually goes in package.accept_keywords. -- Julien signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

If you're using a WM, it's your own reponsibility to setup dbus when starting your session. A DE will do this for you. Typically, you can start your WM using `dbus-run-session `, at least for Wayland. I'm not familiar with X11 but maybe you can use the same command. That said, I'm not sure dbus is the problem with chromium, since you're still having the same network error when starting it with `dbus-launch chromium`...

You can keep a copy of the ebuild so even if it's removed from portage you will be able to install it. Even without a copy, you will be able to retrieve it from git history. -- Julien signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

When ChatGPT doesn't know the answer to something, rather than saying it doesn't know the answer, it just makes it up. The difference between -U and -N as explained by ChatGPT is wrong; in fact, it has nothing to do with dependencies. To have a truthful answer, let's not ask ChatGPT and instead look at `man 5 emerge`: --newuse, -N Tells emerge to include installed packages where USE flags have changed since compilation. This option also implies the --selective option. USE flag changes include: A USE flag was added to a package. A USE flag was removed from a package. A USE flag was turned on for a package. A USE flag was turned off for a package. --changed-use, -U Tells emerge to include installed packages where USE flags have changed since installation. This option also implies the --selective option. Unlike --newuse, the --changed-use option does not trigger reinstallation when flags that the user has not enabled are added orremoved. In a nutshell, `--newuse` or `-N` rebuilds packages when USE flags have changed, regardless of whether the changed USE flags affect the outcome Where as `--changed-use` or `-U` rebuilds packages when the USE flags have changed, AND the changed USE flags affect the outcome. For example, suppose you are on an openRC system, and a package introduces a new `systemd` USE flag; With `-N`: this package will be rebuilt with `-systemd` With `-U`: this package will not be rebuilt -- Julien signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Looking at the ebuilds for both packages, neither of them depend on the net-libs/webkit-gtk:5 package. It seems that `equery d` is not accurate when querying by version when the packages are slotted. Instead, you should query by slot: `equery d net-libs/webkit-gtk:5`. Another option is to use the `emerge` command directly: `emerge --pretend --verbose --depclean net-libs/webkit-gtk:5`, or, shorter version: `emerge -pvc net-libs/webkit-gtk:5` If it returns nothing, then nothing is pulling it in, so either it's been explicitely installed on your system, or, it will be unmerged when running `--depclean` the next time. -- Julien signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
