Weird. xfree-4.3.0-r3.ebuild only calls cabextract if you have "truetype"
in your USE flags, in which case app-arch/cabextract is a DEPEND. Try
doing
emerge -pv cabextract
to see if Portage thinks cabextract is installed. If so, type
which cabextract
and
ls /usr/bin/cabextract
to see if it is *actually* installed and somewhere in your PATH.
If 'emerge', 'which', and 'ls' all say that cabextract is installed
where it should be, this is a Portage bug; submit it to Bugzilla.
If 'emerge', 'which', and 'ls' all say that cabextract is NOT installed,
this is a Portage bug; submit it to Bugzilla.
If 'emerge', 'which', and 'ls' disagree, more troubleshooting is required;
the problem may lie in your system.
If cabextract is not installed, you can manually emerge it or work around
this by trying
USE="-truetype" emerge gnome
but you will be unable to help track down the actual bug (assuming there
is one).
