I am building a minimal live system. When I tested its vpnc for the first time, it failed because it didn't find the ip tool. It turned out that iproute2 only includes this program if built without the minimal use flag. Hence vpnc's dependency on iproute2 should be amended to include [!minimal]. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Install sys-apps/iproute2 with USE=minimal (it will only install one file: /sbin/tc), then try to use vpnc. Actual Results: Calling vpnc when iproute2 is installed with minimal use flag yields: # vpnc <some config file> which: no ip in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin/:/usr/local/sbin/) Tested only with vpnc-0.5.3, but should be valid for other versions as well.
0.5.3_p457-r2 has the updated dependency, thank you for the hint.
