When the minimal flag is set, dropbear's scp will not be build: use minimal \ && progs="dropbear dbclient dropbearkey" \ || progs="dropbear dbclient dropbearkey dropbearconvert scp" Yet further on, during install, it is always installed, regardless of the minimal use flag or the value of progs: mv "${D}"/usr/bin/{,db}scp || die In the previous version of the ebuild (0.49) the "|| die" part was not there, so this silently failed, still allowing the ebuild to install. Now, dropbear always fails when the minimal use flag is set. This would probably be fixed by adding a guarding if around the offending mv command: if [ -e "${D}/usr/bin/scp" ]; then mv "${D}"/usr/bin/{,db}scp || die fi This suggestion is untested, since I do not yet possess enough portage voodoo to circumvent the ebuild checksums to try this. But, AFAICS, this would fix the situation, also when the multicall use flag is set (which is why I used -e instead of -f). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unmask dropbear-0.50 2.

Created attachment 139572 [details, diff] simple fix Same problem here, I think a appropriate fix is to only do the mv when the minimal use-flag is unset.
I can confirm this.
fixed in cvs
