ahh yes IC now... :

optional_depends "libgnome" "" "" "for GNOME support"

that's the problem... if it currently is not installed and you have answered 'no' before there's no way of picking it up automatically other than using 'lin -r libglade2'. This is why in this case it is just better to direcly add a *required* dependency to make sure you get libgnome from libgnomecanvas or the other one...

Nothing you can do anything about really... Just add it I would say
