The GNU recode library is optional for enca. Also, portage system declare 'recode' use flag, but it is not used in enca ebuild's. app-i18n/enca-1.9-r1 always require by dependency app-text/recode. app-i18n/enca-1.9 not require this, but build with app-text/recode, if this library already installed in the user/live system. However, app-text/recode have a bugs to a certain degree when used with enca converter. IMHO, enca must be build with GNU recode library optional, only if turn ON use flag 'recode'. Sorry, but I'm Gentoo beginner user (not specialist) and bad speak English. ;-) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -v1 =app-i18n/enca-1.9-r1 2. enca --list convertors 3. bzip2 -c -d /usr/share/man/man1/gpasswd.1.bz2 | enconv -L ru -x UTF-8 -VVVVVVVVVVV 4. emerge -v1 =app-i18n/enca-1.9 5. enca --list convertors 6. bzip2 -c -d /usr/share/man/man1/gpasswd.1.bz2 | enconv -L ru -x UTF-8 -VVVVVVVVVVV 7. emerge -C recode 8. enca --list convertors 9. bzip2 -c -d /usr/share/man/man1/gpasswd.1.bz2 | enconv -L ru -x UTF-8 -VVVVVVVVVVV 10. emerge -v1 =app-i18n/enca-1.9 11. enca --list convertors 12. bzip2 -c -d /usr/share/man/man1/gpasswd.1.bz2 | enconv -L ru -x UTF-8 -VVVVVVVVVVV Actual Results: 1.

Expected Results: 1,2. app-i18n/enca-1.9-r1 must be installed with GNU recode library -- it's OK. 3. BUG: enca with librecode can't convert by pipe: STDOUT empty, in this step I need to see TeX/UTF-8 formatted output of /usr/share/man/man1/gpasswd (original English `man gpasswd` page). 4. app-i18n/enca-1.9 must be installed -- it's OK. 5. app-i18n/enca-1.9 ebuild (configure script) MUST(?) build enca without GNU recode library (BUG?). 6. Repeat BUG in step 3 7. Uninstall unneeded recode library -- it's OK. 8,9: BROKEN LINK (BUG): though librecode removed, enca continue use this, however app-i18n/enca-1.9 ebuild not have obvious dependency from text-app/recode. 10. app-i18n/enca-1.9 must be reinstalled -- it's OK. 11. It's VERY GOOD for me: at now librecode NOT USED! 12.

Created attachment 180569 [details] New (bump) ebuild to resolve above-listed problems My ebuild have small (cosmetics) difference from app-i18/enca-1.9-r1. This resolve above-listed problems with enca builds, but not resolve (probably) bugs in the GNU Recode library. Please, check on other architectures/systems.
