sys-apps/ethtool during build with USE=netlink tries to use pkg-config, and fails if it is absent. But it does not have build dependency on virtual/pkgconfig for example. Here you can see in configure script that with --enable-netlink it uses pkg-config: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/ethtool/ethtool.git/tree/configure.ac#n77 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: docker run --rm -it --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN gentoo/stage3:amd64-hardened-nomultilib-openrc emerge-webrsync emerge -C pkgconf emerge -p sys-apps/ethtool # -> only [ebuild N ] sys-apps/ethtool-6.9 USE="netlink" emerge sys-apps/ethtool # fails Actual Results: ... configure: error: in `/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/ethtool-6.9/work/ethtool-6.9': configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to pkg-config. ... Expected Results: Successful build. USE=-netlink emerge sys-apps/ethtool # this builds successfully So I suppose ebuild for sys-apps/ethtool should contain additional dependency: BDEPEND="netlink? ( virtual/pkgconfig )"
