Description Didier Barvaux 2010-04-17 12:48:01 UTC 
When emerging media-libs/freetype, I got the following message during post-install phase:

  The utilities and demos previously bundled with freetype are now
  optional.  Enable the utils USE flag if you would like them
  to be installed.

I see this message each time I emerge the package on several systems for months. I searched if we can get rid of it. According to the package changelog, the message seems to be there since October 2007:

  04 Oct 2007; Ryan Hill <dirtyepic@gentoo.org> metadata.xml,
    +freetype-2.3.5-r2.ebuild:
    - made ft2demos optional with utils USE flag (Bug #182905 by kerzol)
    - always use system zlib
    - remove ancient RDEPEND blockers

If date is confirmed, maybe the message could be removed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge media-libs/freetype
2. look at the emerge messages on console
3.

Actual Results:  
A (probably outdated) message about utilities and demos is displayed.

Expected Results:  
No message about utilities and demos is displayed.
