The ebuild app-emacs/mldonkey depends on net-p2p/mldonkey. But in fact, nothing mldonkey.el depends on the presence of the Ocaml application mlnet on the localhost. I don't want and should not need to install a local mldonkey just to be able to drive a remote mldonkey with emacs! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge app-emacs/mldonkey 2. see how it installs net-p2p/mldonkey, which is wrong. 3. emerge -C net-p2p/mldonkey 4. emerge --update world 5. see how it RE installs net-p2p/mldonkey which you explicitely don't want on your system. Actual Results: net-p2p/mldonkey was installed. Expected Results: When I install a web browser, I don't expect to install all the web sites of the whole internet on my machine. My the same token, when I install app-emacs/mldonkey, I'd expect no net-p2p/mldonkey to be installed on my machine.
Acknowledged.
