kde-apps/kdeutils-meta currently has a dependency on app-arch/p7zip. Looking through the kde-apps/ark ebuild where this dependency originates from; it looks like it's only an optfeature, so I am assuming it only calls the `7z` executable and does not use any libraries provided by the `p7zip` packages: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/5a685a4440466945a5ea9e04fada813b6f5ee07e/kde-apps/ark/ark-24.12.3.ebuild#L75 If this is correct then it should be possible to change the dependency to the following since 7zip[symlink] provides a '7z' executable as well: || ( >=app-arch/7zip-24.09[symlink(+)] app-arch/p7zip ) Please double check and test with app-arch/7zip[symlink] and add it as an option if everything works well. If something doesn't work, please report that as well. See also: https://bugs.gentoo.org/942397
Would you like to make that double check, please?
> Would you like to make that double check, please? I'm not using kde or qt. If I was, I'd simply have sent a pull-request instead of filing a bug. Trying to install kde-apps/ark would require pulling in more than 100+ packages into my system, so I'm not going to do it, sorry.
