Hi, after playing around with the licq ebuild,which gave wrong dependancies for the given use flags, i think i found the problem. use kde && need-kde 3.0 causes problems. need-kde seems to alter ${DEPEND}. so here is what seems to happen: 1. USE="kde" emerge -p licq runs the ebuild script with the given use flags and caches the dependancies. 2. USE="-kde" emerge -p licq does not run the ebuild script,but uses the old (cached) dependancies,which are wrong for the given use flags,as with -kde need-kde 3.0 whould not have been run. i hope this report isn't to confusing,my english is bad and i am poor at expressing myself.
please paste #emerge info

This is a non-obvious wrapping-Portage-variables-in-BASH-controls problem that isn't fixable or detectable by portage. A possible fix is if use kde; then need-kde 3.0 DEPEND="kde? ( $DEPEND virtual/glibc )" RDEPEND="kde? ( $RDEPEND virtual/glibc )" Need to make sure that required dependencies get added after that though.
Ok... Mozilla isn't playing nice with me... This is a non-obvious wrapping-Portage-variables-in-BASH-controls problem that isn't fixable or detectable by portage. A possible fix is if use kde; then need-kde 3.0 DEPEND="kde? ( $DEPEND virtual/glibc )" RDEPEND="kde?

Ok... No if... That'd be the same problem. Should work like this though. Just define the required deps AFTER this. need-kde 3.0 DEPEND="kde? ( $DEPEND virtual/glibc )" RDEPEND="kde? ( $RDEPEND virtual/glibc )" ... later ... DEPEND="$DEPEND require/packages" RDEPEND="$RDEPEND other/requires"
umm, that is wrong ... if you inherit an eclass, you should do: newdepend "blah blah"
