Description Jerome Potts 2010-02-15 23:21:46 UTC

dev-lang/mono requires www-client/links or www-client/lynx

Isn't www-client/elinks good enough?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install www-client/elinks; remove www-client/links and www-client/lynx
2. install dev-lang/mono
3.

Actual Results:  
install of dev-lang/mono pulls in www-client/links as a pre-requisite

Expected Results:  
The install should have detected the presence of www-client/elinks

WTH it needs www-client as a dependency after all?

Aren't firefox or w3m or anything else good enough too?

Seems that it couldn't RDEPEND on elinks. This is what I have done:
1. I have unpacked mono-2.6.4 sources
2. I have run "grep -r lynx *"

Looking at output, I have checked that scripts/mod.in relies on lynx or links to work
