Description Edoardo Liverani 2023-06-09 09:58:16 UTC

I am reporting a possible bug in the app-crypt/libb2 ebuild. I noticed that when the openmp USE flag is enabled, the ebuild adds gcc as RDEPEND. This seems unnecessary and incorrect, as gcc should not be a runtime dependency for this package, imho.
I am not familiar with this package nor this USE, so I'm not sure it's a bug, but I took a look at other packages with openmp USE and none of them adds gcc as a dependency, neither run-time nor build-time.
The problem turns up when emerging a list of packages to an empty root that I'd like to keep clean without build dependencies.

If you're using openmp, then you do genuinely need gcc at runtime for libomp.
