Currently libdaemon-0.8 has DEPEND="doc? ( app-doc/doxygen www-client/lynx )" All that lynx is used for is to regenerate doc/README (from doc/README.html); as doc/README is in the distributed tarball anyway this is just a maintainer-mode facility and is unnecessary. Suggest removing www-client/lynx from DEPEND and changing econf line to: econf --disable-lynx || die "econf failed" No other changes are needed.
Good catch. It's in CVS. Thanks for the bug report.
