Created attachment 308351 [details, diff] alsa-utils-1.0.25-r2.ebuild.diff Recently, a change was made in media-sound/alsa-utils to not install alsaconf with USE=minimal. As dev-util/dialog is only needed for the alsaconf script in this package, it should be hidden behind "!minimal? ( dev-util/dialog )" in the ebuild. Also, the last ewarn in the ebuild, only displayed with USE=minimal, is not needed with this recent change to the ebuild. The attached patch fixes both these issues. (I hope .-) ) Thanks for your work!
>As dev-util/dialog is only needed for the alsaconf script Yep, that's true.
incorrect as alsa-info tool also uses dialog
Use of dialog for alsa-info is entirely optional. If dialog is present, alsa-info makes automatically use of it, unless provided with --no-dialog. It dialog is not present, alsa-info automatically does not use it, gives no error message about it, and everything I have tested still works. It just does not look as pretty. But maybe I missed something. You have, of course, the final say about this, so I will write of this no more. Thanks for looking into it!
