I think expat (at least as RDEP) not required for gettext: ldd `equery f gettext | grep -P '/usr/bin|/usr/lib'` | grep expat | wc -l => 0, What about remove it from dep/rdep? My usecase: I'm try build very small gentoo system, and don't want extra packages. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
$ strings /usr/bin/xgettext | grep -i expat libexpat.so.1 libexpat.so.0 gettext-tools/src/x-glade.c: handle = dlopen ("libexpat.so.1", RTLD_LAZY); gettext-tools/src/x-glade.c: handle = dlopen ("libexpat.so.0", RTLD_LAZY) That's because it's not linked but dlopen()'ned.
