gimp2 +quartz fails upgrade to @2.8.18_1

[mopihopi]

Upgrading gimp2 @2.8.18_0+python27+quartz to @2.8.18_1 fails, claiming that "gtk3 must be installed with +x11". However +quartz requires gtk3+quartz, which is incompatible with gtk3+x11.

Will take a look. Note that the error is coming from gnome-desktop which is most definitely +x11 only -- it will not build +quartz. I believe this issue is a result of gimp2's new runtime dependency on epiphany which should go away soon. See also #52548.

Thanks. gnome-desktop was not (and is still not) installed, and I have no desire to install that.

Exactly, gnome-desktop is not installed on your system because it will not build +quartz due to hard X11 dependencies. epiphany, in turn, will not build +quartz because of its dependency on gnome-desktop. Removing the runtime dependency on epiphany is, therefore, the necessary solution to your problem.

Fixed in r153733 without sacrificing the help functionality on +quartz builds. See #52548 for full details.
