There are no ebuilds to satisfy

Question

So, I want to install the vimb browser from a Gentoo overlay called 'booboo'. I added the overlay with layman and ran emerge vimb. This is what I get:

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.5.0:2".
(dependency required by "www-client/vimb-2.10::booboo[-gtk3]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "vimb" [argument])

Ideas?

Thank you!

PS: Output of emerge -s webkit-gtk:

net-libs/webkit-gtk

Latest version installed: 2.28.3

Ebuild for vimb in overlay you are mentioning wasn't updated for 5 years and it depends on packages, that no longer exists in the official portage tree.

Notice it depends on >=net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.5.0:2 which specifies slot 2 (:2 at the end), but in the official tree, there is only slot 4.

If it helps you, I put an updated .ebuild into my overlay.
