Connman 1.23 is checking for openconnect which isn't installed on this particular system and fails as follows: [..] checking for openconnect... no configure: error: openconnect binary not found I suggest to add a openconnect useflag to control whether support is desired or not and adding the needed dependency when needed.
Just realized the useflag is there, just the dep is missing and that's how I run into this.
That sounds like it can be fixed without a revbump. Please commit with my blessing.

+ 10 Mar 2015; Yixun Lan <dlan@gentoo.org> connman-1.27.ebuild, + connman-1.28.ebuild, metadata.xml: + fix openconnect dep, bug 509908, add Balint SZENTE as maintainer note, I only fixed at version 1.27, 1.28, and plan to go stable for 1.27, so can drop all old versions.
similar to bug 539012, on my second thought, the USE is not necessary. because we don't have to re-compile connman with openconnect support or without better use pkg_postinst(), what do you think?

I think it is not quite the same situation. In connman's case openconnect support (module or builtin) must be explicitly enabled, otherwise it will not be compiled in at all. And if it is enabled, then the configure script will also check the presence of the binary. So, even if you have openconnect installed, if you don't "--enable-openconnect[=builtin]" for connman, the vpn will not work. The situation is the same with pptp and l2tp support as well. If you just put a warning in pkg_postinst(), then the original issue (comment 1) will remain and connmain will fail to merge on a fresh system where these packages are not installed yet. So in my opinion the USE flag is apropriate and necessary, because it is not nice to compile in openconnect/pptp/l2tp support by default for everybody, even if one don't need it.
