The issue was reported on our bugzilla:

It's a new dep of 5.40 release, controlled by '--with-libcap-ng'.

[Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2010-12-17 14:49:31 UTC]

Okay this is easy to fix, just add a caps USE flag and conditionals in !minimal for the deps and parameters.

The problem is I cannot commit it as is because alpha and ia64 lack keywords over libcap-ng.

[Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2010-12-17 15:03:14 UTC]

I'll p.use.mask the USE flag giving time for the two arches to keyword while still fixing the underlying problem.

~alpha/~ia64 done
