net-misc/socat depends on sys-apps/tcp-wrappers which isn't listed in its dependencies list. The attached patch adds the dependency via the tcpd USE flags, which appears to be the common way to express this dependency. Without the attached patch, if tcp-wrappers is installed on the system the tools are linked against libwrap. Obviously, breakage occurs if tcp-wrappers are then unmerged. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
