Description Coacher 2016-11-16 05:24:20 UTC

Hello.

shntool has a number of USE flags. It seems all of them control RDEPENDs that aren't linked to and can be installed/removed freely to adjust shntool features. Such dependencies shouldn't be controlled by USE flags, see 
https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/use-flags/

Please fix.
