Description Paolo Pedroni 2016-04-11 14:33:14 UTC 
While emerging latest rc of kde applications I discovered that kde-apps/krdc has a new dependency on net-dns/avahi.

Not wanting to install it (I don't need nor like it) I tried to put it in package.provided and, surprise surprise, the package builds, installs and works fine...

Is it possible/wise, to remove the dependency from the krdc ebuild?

You could have just set USE=zeroconf which removes the build- and runtime dependency.

There is no such USE flag in kde-apps/krdc-16.03.90:
# equery u =kde-apps/krcd-16.03.90
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
[ Colors : set, unset                             ]
 * Found these USE flags for kde-apps/krdc-16.03.90:
