The kdeconnect (at least the kde5 version) needs sys-fs/sshfs-fuse in order to be able to examine phone's file system remotely. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to access phone's file system. Actual Results: An error indicating launching sshfs failed is shown. Expected Results: A dolphin window with the contents of the phone should be launched. This dependency is not strict. It is only used at runtime. Most of the kdeconnect work without it. However, that is still quite a big hindrance and potential non-power users could be confused about the error. Maybe an use flag could be added for this dependency?
From the ebuild: elog "Optional dependency:" elog "sys-fs/sshfs-fuse (for 'remote filesystem browser' plugin)"
Ok, it seems that I have missed this one. Sorry for confusion.
It doesn't seem that optional actually when you can't access your files. And many of us use --quiet during emerge, so we can't know.
