Description Mark Wagner 2012-01-04 00:38:32 UTC 
portage-utils-0.8 uses the futimens() and utimensat() functions.  According to the man page, these functions were introduced with kernel-2.6.22 and glibc-2.6, and were buggy in kernel versions prior to 2.6.26.  Since several sys-kernel/ packages have versions before 2.6.26 (eg. sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.16.62 and sys-kernel/cell-sources-2.6.24-r1), this dependency should be included in the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always
