dev-libs/tdb has sys-libs/gdbm in its RDEPEND. gdbm is only needed for building and not for runtime. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -k dev-libs/tdb 2. 3.

hmm, gdbm is only used by build-time binaries ... how odd i'll remove the gdbm DEPEND completely and disable anything that uses it as those utils are never installed
They are used for a torture test program. I guess the developer wanted to compare it with gdbm. Useless unless you are involved in the tdb development, which probably is the reason why those apps are never installed. Thanks!
