Description:   Opened: 2008-10-09 06:57 0000 
usbutils have a runtime dependency on dev-libs/libusb.

I know this is a minor problem, but it would be nice to have it fixed.

Reproducible: Always

usbutils already depends on libusb, so i dont know what this bug is about

------- Comment #2 From Bernhard Hartleb 2008-10-10 08:40:17 0000 ------- 
Ok, sorry for my vague explanation.

Your are right, usbutils already depends on libusb.
But usbutils also have a runtime dependency on libusb:

# ldd /usr/sbin/lsusb
        ...
        libusb-0.1.so.4 => /lib/libusb-0.1.so.4 (0xf7f95000)
        ...

Which means that this line should be added to the ebuild, to get the
depdendencies right:
RDEPEND="${DEPEND}"

An explanation for that can be found here:
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/dependencies/index.html#runtime-dependencies

I know this is anything but critical, so sorry for bothering you with that.

that line is actually not explicitly needed yet, but I put it in anyway.

------- Comment #4 From Bernhard Hartleb 2008-10-12 19:02:43 0000 ------- 
Thanks.

I actually run into this while building a minimal gentoo system.
Hence, I tried to remove all buildtime deps but had no luck with this ebuild.

There are probably a lot of ebuilds with this little issue out there.
