As per the README of the pakcage, swig is only used for python bindings and as per the ebuild this only happens with the USE=python flag. So, the 1-line patch to fix the problem in sys-libs/libnvme-1.12.ebuild may be simpler to say than something more elaborate: BDEPEND=" - dev-lang/swig + python? ( dev-lang/swig ) " Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --unmerge dev-lang/swig 2. emerge -pt sys-libs/libnvme 3. read the report The version control on the ebuilds says this was introduced as soon as BDEPEND ever was in libnvme-1.2-r1.ebuild in Nov 2022 which had a python USE flag. So, basically it was always wrong (not that it's very consequential, but it would be the only reason my system would have dev-lang/swig installed and dependency management is job number one of any package system...).
I was going to say maybe it was because of https://github.com/linux-nvme/libnvme/commit/8cb4d2941527832bf04639a83a55cec51d353507 but that was fixed in 1.0! > Steps to Reproduce: > 1. emerge --unmerge dev-lang/swig > 2. emerge -pt sys-libs/libnvme emerge -pvc dev-lang/swig is a safe way of doing that ;) Thanks for the report.
