Currently zsh uses the cap useflag to depend on libcap, rather than the global caps useflag. This would ask the Gentoo/*BSD profile to mask the cap useflag too, but I'd rather see it using the global useflag like other packages: flame@enterprise ~/devel/gentoo-x86/app-shells/zsh $ grep caps ../../profiles/use.desc caps - Use Linux capabilities library to control privileges. flame@enterprise ~/devel/gentoo-x86/app-shells/zsh $ grep ':cap' ../../profiles/use.local.desc app-mobilephone/yaps:capi - Enable CAPI support app-shells/zsh:cap - Adds POSIX.1e (formerly POSIX 6) capabilities for zsh Thanks, Diego
Fixed in 4.3.2-r1. Use.local.desc entry is still there since older ebuilds still use it.
