When emerging net-ftp/jftpgw you are also required to emerge sys-apps/xinetd as a run-time requirement. This is not the case and would be better if it was removed and made an optional install: # emerge -p jftpgw These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] sys-apps/xinetd-2.3.13 [ebuild N ] net-ftp/jftpgw-0.13.4-r1
totally pruned from DEPEND if you want inetd support i guess emerge it yourself :)
