[gentoo-user] emerge confused about gnome-icon-theme version?

So it appears I have gnome-icon-theme 2.16.1 installed.  However, when I 
attempt to install gnome-applets, I get the following error:

root@Merlin:/ # emerge gnome-applets
Calculating dependencies... done!

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.16.2 to /

checking for GIT... configure: error: Package requirements (gnome-icon-theme 
>= 2.15.91) were not met:

Requested 'gnome-icon-theme >= 2.15.91' but version of gnome-icon-theme is 
2.10.1



Something is confused somewhere about the version of gnome-icon-theme 
installed.  I've resynced and reemerged gnome-icon-theme with no success.  
Any suggestions?

It appears no one has any suggestions.  Can someone perhaps tell me how 
portage goes about determining the installed version to give me a direction 
to start trying to figure this out.

All installed packages are recorded in /var/db/pkg
so in your case you can check /var/db/pkg/x11-themes/
for gnome-icon-theme packages installed.

Maybe stating the obvious here, but have you tried to remove and then
install gnome-icon-theme again?

Happy new year all !!!

Try :
"pkg-config gnome-icon-theme --modversion"

if that reports a wrong number then you may have an old pkgconfig file
lying around making it go nuts.

For some odd reason i notice the gnome-icon-theme package-config files
not being in their standard /usr/lib/pkgconfig but in
/usr/share/pkgconfig with about 2 other files ( gtk-doc ,
icon-naming-utils ) and I wonder why. But cat any flles matching
"gnome-icon-theme.pc" in both those dirs and if you have more than
one, then that could be your problem, and deleting the older one
-should- do the trick.

This isn't exactly portage determining the installed version of
gnome-icon-theme. It's the configure script of gnome-applets which is unaware
of the existance of portage checking the environment before the actual compile.
It uses the return value of:

# pkg-config --exists --print-errors "gnome-icon-theme >= 2.15.91"

to determine whether it's requirement is fulfilled.

Maybe you have some orphaned pkg-config file (.pc) as Kent suggests. The output
of e.g.:

# pkg-config --debug --modversion gnome-icon-theme 2>&1 | grep gnome-icon-theme

will tell you where the .pc file is. If you have app-portage/gentoolkit
installed you can use `equery belongs $FILE` to see if it's orphaned (i.e.
if it belongs to no package.). Orphaned files like that can be safely deleted.
