Created attachment 37745 [details, diff] fixes the wrong rdepend
i see no point to putting virtual/libc into DEPEND since it has to be on your system for *anything* to work
many packages have it ...but the point is another one, if you don't initialize RDEPEND (null is fine) when you install the sysvinit binary you have to install also the packages listed in DEPEND. You can see the problem trying to install the package setting a different ROOT.
ah you should have said that in the first place ;)
ehhe ...you are right ;-)
