Description Marien Zwart (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-14 05:27:44 UTC 
emacs-cvs depends on dev-python/pexpect. According to bug 16949 this was done because the cvs eclass uses it, but I can't find pexpect in either the eclass, the ebuild or the emacs source, so I think this is not needed anymore.

It also depends on gdbm. I can't find any "real" reference to that in the emacs source, the ebuild, or the installed emacs.

I removed both deps, unmerged the packages, remerged emacs-cvs, and it seems to be working fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge emacs-cvs
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
gdbm and pexpect are merged as dependencies, but not used.

Expected Results:  
Not merged unnecessary things.

Seems ok to me. Committed to CVS. If something breaks,
please let me know.
