I have a system without CD or DVD. The use flag -dvd is set. Why must I install libdvd* ? These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] dev-libs/libxdg-basedir-1.1.1 USE="-doc -static-libs" [ebuild N ] media-libs/libdvdcss-1.2.11 USE="-doc -static-libs" [ebuild N ] media-libs/libdvdread-4.2.0 USE="css" [ebuild N ] media-libs/libdvdnav-4.2.0 [ebuild U ] media-libs/xine-lib-1.2.1 [1.1.20] USE="mmap* -bluray% -dvb% -fusion% -mad* -vdpau% -vdr% -vorbis*" Regards zillerbaer.
Because xine-lib doesn't provide a way to make libdvdnav optional. They only have switch to use internal copy of libdvdnav, or external copy of libdvdnav. And external copies must always be used as per security policies. If you don't like this, you can file a enhancement request at the upstream Xine bug tracking system: http://bugs.xine-project.org/

To reiterate: By installing xine-lib-1.1.20 you actually are installing libdvdnav no matter what USE flags you set, the code is just bundled inside the library itself, and not as separate file/package
