The bbrun app should not depend on blackbox but only some kind of generic "commonbox" stuff. I'm currently using openbox with bbrun with absolutely no problems (fluxbox is IMHO the same case)... I can't upgrade bbrun to version 1.4 because of the dep. (using 1.3 now - don't remember how I installed it -> maybe with blackbox and then bb was unmerged) Thanks...

The ebuild does depend on virtual/blackbox just as you suggest. The actually bug lies in portage as seen in bug #25224. Marking this bug as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 25224 ***
