Things like this should be handled in a bug report!

Actually there is one [1] already. Don't know who opened it and if it 
was independent of this discussion. Times of this thread and the bug 
opening suggest a relation ;-)

Okay now I know who opened the bug :-)

thelma=joseph?

Next time just add this information here. This way everybody interested 
can also track the progress at the bug tracker!

IT WORKED!

I created local overlay manifest the barcode-0.98-r1.ebuild  (get it
from gentoo "attic" )
emerged =app-text/barcode-0.98-r1
but it is missing something as there is a "?" beside installed version
Don't know why?

eix barcode shows:

[I] app-text/barcode
 Available versions:  0.98-r1 ~0.99
 Installed versions:  0.98-r1[?](06:45:36 PM 12/05/2020)
 Homepage:https://www.gnu.org/software/barcode/
 Description: barcode generator

re-emerged "app-office/glabels"
and the GNU barcode show up.
