Bugzilla Bug 155860

User-Agent:       Opera/7.52 (X11; Linux i586; U)  [en]
Build Identifier: 

app-text/antiword has a hard dependency on virtual/ghostscript in ebuild
I think such a dependency must be at least optional, if it needed at all.

Ghostscript doesn't needed for compilation of antiword, and as far as I can 
tell, for operation too. I emerged antiword with --nodeps and it works fine for 
all types of output formats (plain text, PostScript, PDF) without any 
ghostscript installed. I can guess that ghostscript is listed as dependency 
because kantiword script uses gv for rendering PostScript, but, wait a minute, 
gv is not a part of ghostscript, it's standalone package (app-text/gv). And I 
don't use kantiword anyway (USE="-kde") - why then should I fetch and install 
~13M ghostscript?



Reproducible: Always

fixed in portage, thanks.
