When using FEATURES=tests, routes is not installable without nose, because the tests only work when nose is installed. This probably extends to some other packages, but i don't know how. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Don't install dev-python/nose 2.enable FEATURES=tests 3.emerge dev-python/routes Workaround is to just install nose.
The 'test' USE flag pulls in nose as a dependency. If you are using a recent version of portage the 'test' USE flag will be enabled automatically if you have FEATURES='test'. What version are you using?
Close as INVALID Wasn't using portage for this one
