Yes, I understood what you meant. I was just saying that I don't have most
dependencies installed.

That's curious. I just tried emerge -p evince with all USE variables unset
and it refuses to comply. Some dependencies suffer from "unmet

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.)
