net-analyzer/driftnet-0.1.6 when run complains: driftnet: this version of driftnet was compiled without display support driftnet: use the -a option to run it in adjunct mode -a doesn't seem to be very useful... These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] net-analyzer/driftnet-0.1.6 +gtk # etcat -u driftnet [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legend : (U) Col 1 - Current USE flags ] [ : (I) Col 2 - Installed With USE flags ] U I [ Found these USE variables in : net-analyzer/driftnet-0.1.6 ] + + gtk : Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit) I would have expected +gtk to include display support.
Maybe you want to be running driftnet-gtk?
Yep, just looked more closely at this. The non-gtk version of driftnet is intentionally compiled without gui whild driftnet-gtk is the gui version. Marking this invalid.
I find this response confusing. There is no driftnet-gtk package in portage at this time, there is only one source download available from the project website, and searching for driftnet-gtk in Google seems to indicate that any such name was specific to Gentoo. If there was a driftnet-gtk package, there isn't one now. And the gtk USE flag doesn't add the GUI support. I'd reopen this bug pending clarification of the matter, if I had the proper permissions. ;)
indeed i think this should be reopened
