Description Natanael Copa 2005-12-15 23:56:54 UTC

libpcre has pkgconfig as RDEPEND but it is not needed for runtime. It matters
when you build binary packages.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -B libpcre
2. emerge -pK libpcre
3.

Actual Results:  
Calculating dependencies -
!!! There are no packages available to satisfy: "dev-util/pkgconfig"
!!! Either add a suitable binary package or compile from an ebuild.


Expected Results:  
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[binary  N    ] dev-libs/libpcre-6.3  to /root/tmp/


It can be solved by just adding a:

RDEPEND=""
