Created attachment 527354 [details] build.log When building dev-util/itstool-2.0.4-r1 with dev-libs/libxml2[-python]: configure: error: Python module libxml2 is needed to run this package
i don't understand how portage would allow such thing, the ebuild clearly depends on libxml2 with the python useflag.
Yeah but the python useflags ($PYTHON_USEDEP) dont add 'python' as a USE flag. All it needs is a dev-libs/libxml2[python,${PYTHON_USEDEP}]. Funny thing, it's already fixed in the live version.
