Hello, currently, the ebuild says: RDEPEND="[...] !minimal? ( dev-libs/popt ) I've found that vcdimager will always depend on dev-libs/popt regardless the use of USE="minimal" or USE="-minimal" ($(use_with !minimal cli-frontends)). So this issue could be: 1) Ebuild issue. RDEPEND should include plain dev-libs/popt dependency. 2) Upstream issue. vcdimager's buildsystem doesn't care about --with-cli-frontends/--without-cli-frontends and always links to popt. Currently I don't have the knowledge to find this out so I leave all the fun to you. Reproducible: Always
