When emerging app-text/ghostscript (or app-text/ghostscript-gnu) they both fail with an error about tiff not being found. After emerging media-libs/tiff app-text/ghostscript and app-text/ghostscript-gnu compile fine. Shouldn't app-text/ghostscript and app-text/ghostscript-gnu depend on media-libs/tiff? Seeing as there is no use-flag to enable/disable it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unmerge media-libs/tiff 2. re-emerge app-text/ghostscript or app-text/ghostscript-gnu Actual Results: The emerge will fail with an error basically saying tiff (-ltiff) can't be found. Expected Results: Compile properly, seeing as media-libs/tiff is no dependancy at this moment.
