Description Nick Rout 2004-12-05 19:20:43 UTC

I went to emerge mc on a brand new 2004.3 systemm and it would not compile due to a failure to find pkg-config. pkg-config is in the package pkgconfig. however pkgconfig is not a dependency of mc.

After I emerged pkgconfig, mc built as usual.

mc version as of the snapshot I am using is mc-4.6.0-r11

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install new 2004.3 system
2. emerge mc
3.

Actual Results:  
build failed

Expected Results:  
ebuild should have depndency maked so that mc builds properly
