But this results in it being useless and n= ot needed, until either a package or a user does require it explicitly. So my vote goes for changing the dependency strings for affected packages= =2E --=20 Thomas Sachau Gentoo Linux Developer --------------enig5E73F38696D676414EA90E06 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) iJwEAQEKAAYFAkuigmkACgkQG7kqcTWJkGcJzAP9HGvtEI/U2sOi8oT+xWy2bGod qSuMFjkHYooTmeaMVqsg30B8XNj0e3RujamBXPJXPtnIFL4SjtS4Mgyd9iwpS5mQ oPI/kLkaMdIo1tPQ6wMrn5E6rXDUzHMa2zDcGpn2ei2sINc4I+9BDhWtx+eWbBNF r5oyZxBqJQM7PyiaO60= =lQ9E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig5E73F38696D676414EA90E06--
