I do not want to install gnome to install captive to properly read/write to
NTFS. The website for the project
(http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/) mentions nothing about gnome
dependencies so I do not know why they are part of the ebuild.
Comment 1 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-22 08:29:52 UTC 
sorry, I cant do anything against it.

captive uses gnome-V(irtual)F(ile)S(ystem) internally and wont work without it.

On the captive page a static binary is used and therefore you do not need the gnome-vfs shared libs there .. but gentoo builds from source, so we need them.

If you really want to get rid of that DEPEND you could step up to redesign captive .. captive project is currently orphaned and lookds for a new maintainer.
