Bugzilla Bug 38242

I would have liked to reopen bug #12725 but since bugzilla is restricted I had
to open a whole new bug. Please refer to bug #12725 before reading this bug
report.

Bug #12725 does not fix its problem completely. net-misc/host adds the program
"hostx" while dnetc looks only for "host". net-dns/bind-tools adds its own host
program also named "host" but net-misc/host also works if you symbolically link
/usr/bin/host to /usr/bin/hostx (ln -s hostx host).

Maybe net-dns/bind-tools and net-misc/host need to block each other? That way
the symbolic link host -> hostx could be made in the net-misc/host ebuild
without interfearing anything. I do not know if there is a way to modify dnetc
to search for "hostx" instead of "host" but if there is it would be the best
solution. I will have to look into it later.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

I am having this problem as well and I also narrowed it down to a missing
dependency of bind-tools, because dnetc uses /usr/bin/host please see the
follow link for more details.
