Bugzilla Bug 168076

I have media-libs/aalib-1.4_rc5 installed with USE=slang. Therefore,
sys-libs/slang is a dependency. But it's only needed for building aalib, not
for running it so slang isn't in the RDEPEND. So when I do "emerge --depclean
--with-bdeps n" sys-libs/slang is removed.

And if I do "revdep-rebuild -p" I get

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install aalib with USE=slang
2. Do "emerge --depclean --with-bdeps n"
3. Run "revdep-rebuild"

Actual Results:  
Broken links are found and aalib is reinstalled

Expected Results:  
No broken links.

Do the aalib binaries actually fail without slang installed?

Yes, binaries fail when libslang is not present.
Fixed in CVS.
