The net-misc/ebayagent (as of 0.9.11) ebuild has a missing dependency for dev-perl/perl-tk. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge ebayagent without perl-tk installed on the system 2.start XebayAgent Actual Results: it does not work but throw an error message Expected Results: It should have started.

I'm thinking that perl-tk should be invoked by use flag though - the app is a console app as well after all. Comments?
I think the "X" useflag would be useful. If present: Build/install the X version and depend on perl-tk.
The X version also doesn't work when perl-tk is installed. It pops up a requester asking for a eBayAgent.pl file that is not installed by the ebuild and refuses to work otherwise.
The pop up is fixed (I am cursing myself for every accepting this user contributed ebuild). added an optional dep on perl-tk. let me know how you fare with -r1.
Adding a cc for the user that submitted this ebuild to begin with, just so he's aware of problems at least.
Created attachment 60737 [details] ebayagent-0.9.11-r2.ebuild Sorry for the buggy ebuild I provided I hope this will be better with USE tcltk it will install /usr/bin/XeBayAgent with USE tools it will install /usr/bin/runrepebay /usr/bin/repebay /usr/bin/eBayAgent_Skript the patch from ebayagent-0.9.11-r1.ebuild won

Created attachment 60739 [details] ebayagent-0.9.11-r2.ebuild sed edit also repebay and runrepebay
Because your sed was messy, sed is not universal in syntax, and patching is cleaner all around. and because once in the tree, i get the bugs :)
I really dislike the "patch-way" -- but you
I really dislike the "patch-way" -- but you´re getting the bugs so if you like I provide a patch thx
Ebuild updated, closing this bug.
