Description Leon Schoorl 2006-09-15 17:36:40 UTC 
The samba printing support, for which there is a big fat warning saying it is possibly-buggy, can't be disabled in tcpdump-3.9.4-r2:

# USE=-samba emerge tcpdump
Calculating dependencies... done!

This is because the configure option to disable smb support is --disable-smb, not --without-smb.

Changing the use_with into an use_enable fixes it:

# USE=-samba emerge tcpdump
