QA checks for /usr/portage/kde-base/kdeaddons-kfile-plugins: kde-base/kdeaddons-kfile-plugins-3.4.1: dep flags: major: Conditional flag 'ssl' in DEPEND not in IUSE kde-base/kdeaddons-kfile-plugins-3.5.0: dep flags: major: Conditional flag 'ssl' in DEPEND not in IUSE The comments in the ebuilds suggest that these should be hard deps.
Nah the problem was a bit more complex, but also simpler from a side. ssl *can* be disabled, and kfile-cert wouldn't be compiled in that case. But it was missing the myconf="$(use_enable ssl)" line in src_compile. Fixed now and added to IUSE.
