dev-lang/julia and dev-lang/julia-bin currently has a dependency on app-arch/p7zip. As far as I can tell from grepping, it seems to only really use the `7z` executable. https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/f211a7746a7ea2de55af9b041f7101f09842b9dc/stdlib/p7zip_jll/src/p7zip_jll.jl#L17-L21 If this is indeed the case, then the dependency can be changed to the following since 7zip[symlink] provides that 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
