Hi devs,

Help please.  I'm preparing an ebuild for a library that requires
either mysql, postgresql or ODBC to be installed already.

How do I handle DEPEND= ?

I tried DEPEND=">=mysql-3.23.54a || >=..."
but portage bombed out with 
Calculating dependencies \
!!! Error calculating dependancies. Please correct.

Thanks,
Peter

DEPEND="|| ( package1 package2 package3 )"

Everything is in prefix notation.
