There are 3 suggestions for amanda-2.4.4-r1.ebuild: 1. Both client and server installed by this ebuild. Yes, this may be controlled by $myconf, but it's used by all packages so update of amanda must be done separately from other packages. I think it is better to use USE flag for this. 2. net-mail/mailx appear twice in DEPEND. Also it already have virtual/mta in its DEPEND. 3. sys-apps/mtx does not needed for amanda for successful instalation. It can be safely installed after if needed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
net-mail/mailx is there because it needs to send mail and uses a binary from that package. Duplication removed. I'm not seperating it out to client/server packages, there are lots of other bugs open on that matter, and for the moment the resolution on them is the same, we aren't doing that. that's a perversion of USE flags anyway. I found it to need mtx in my situation, hence mtx remains. This will be checked into cvs shortly.
