I doubt it's of much use and it'll cause a system with gtk useflag to fetch in gtk1-deps. I'd suggest to just remove that. ssuominen@gentoo.org 2007-08-18 11:38:17 0000 In fact, I've noticed it's a automagic dep.. even if you USE="-gtk" ppp, it ends up linking against GTK+-1.2 if it's found in system. :( mrness@gentoo.org 2007-08-18 12:27:35 0000 (In reply to comment #0) Actually it is very useful for paranoid people who doesn't like storing their PPP passwords in files. For those, pppd has a plugin called passprompt. When gtk useflag is enabled, the /usr/sbin/pppgetpass looks like this: #!/bin/sh if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then exec pppgetpass.vt "$@" else exec pppgetpass.gtk "$@" fi I would say this functionality is too neat to loose. (In reply to comment #1) What program/library is liked against GTK-1? Did you checked with equery uses ppp? ssuominen@gentoo.org 2007-08-20 14:25:08 0000 (In reply to comment #2) > (In reply to comment #1) > What program/library is liked against GTK-1?

Fixed in ppp-2.4.4-r12. Right now this revision is pmasked, but I will unmask it as soon as solution for bug 190143 is tested.
