In tcsh-6.16.ebuild v1.4, jer@g.o added an explicit RDEPEND="$DEPEND". While good in theory, the effect is incorrect in this case. The tcsh ebuild uses perl to generate HTML documentation, so DEPEND includes "doc? ( dev-lang/perl )". Similarly, it uses gettext during the build, but has no apparent need for it at runtime. Due to the way that RDEPEND is set, Portage wants to install gettext and perl even if I install tcsh from a prebuilt package. I think the correct dependencies are: RDEPEND=">=sys-libs/ncurses-5.1" DEPEND="${RDEPEND} sys-devel/gettext doc? ( dev-lang/perl )" This would ensure that gettext and perl are still made available during the build, but would restrict the runtime dependency to cover only ncurses, which is needed since tcsh is dynamically linked to /lib/libncurses.so.5.
thanks, I cleaned up RDEPEND now
I see the changes you made, but I think you missed one step. As of now, the text of tcsh-6.16 is: 22 RDEPEND=">=sys-libs/ncurses-5.1 23 virtual/libiconv" 24 DEPEND="${RDEPEND} 25 sys-devel/gettext 26 perl? ( dev-lang/perl )" 27 RDEPEND="${DEPEND}" I agree with lines 22-26, but I think line 27 prevents your changes from being effective at fixing the originally reported problem, since it overwrites the fixed RDEPEND with the same bad excessive atoms. All the other versions look good to me.
bah, sloppy work from my side. Thanks, should be removed now.
