CC-ing maintainer. Tom, is this what was meant to happen on an Apache-less system somehow? Or shoudl there be apache in the DEPEND somehow?
nailed this down to a problem which is due to package.provided on OSX and the webapp eclass not dealing very well with that. This problem is not fixable for now.
Thanks, Dirk. net-www/apache is in package.provided for your profile, but not in the package database. Therefore, emerging info2html doesn't pull in this dependency, but just goes ahead and then finds, through has_version in the webapp-apache eclass, that net-www/apache is not installed. You might regard it as a conflict between the eclass/package database on the one hand and package.provided on the other. Dirk, if you really *need* app-text/info2html right now, you will need to find some way of installing some version of Gentoo's Apache first. Currently, using info2html on Gentoo OSX is impossible.

Currently, using > info2html on Gentoo OSX is impossible. This is cuurrently not urgent, I am just playing around what is possible to emerge. Could this be solved by some kind of "virtual dependency", which can be resolved by a system provided or a Gentoo apache?
