app-portage/splat needs WWW-Mechanize added to DEPEND Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge splat and try to use it.. Actual Results: no WWW:Mechanize found.
I don't have WWW:Mechanize installed and it works for me. # emerge -v app-portage/splat These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

That is very curious to me since i have 5 boxes now that experience the same result. I have to emerge WWW-Mechanize for it to work.
