Description Max Kalika (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

emerge --update --deep seems to ignore optional ("or") depenencies and making 
both required. For example: 
 
- mythweather has a depend string like this: 
  || ( media-tv/mythtv media-tv/mythfrontend ) 
 
- emerge mythfrontend 
  (takes a while, sorry) 
 
- emerge mythweather 
  (all works fine, no extra things are needed). 
 
- emerge world -puD 
  (notice all the extra depends because it wants to pull in mythtv) 
 
This seems related to bug #13632 and bug #16240.  I will post more info as I 
have it...

yup, opera does the same thing with lesstif and openmotif.

This is fixed in unstable, devel, and cvs.
