The ebuild for quanta has the following dependencies: Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge startkde 2. emerge quanta 3. start quanta Actual Results: A dialog box appears: Some applications required for full functionality are missing: - Tidy [http://tidy.sourceforge.net] - HTML syntax checking will not be available. - Kompare [http://bruggie.dnsalias.org/kompare] - comparing of files by content will not be available. You may download the applications from the specified locations.on management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed Expected Results: ebuild should have htmltidy and kompare as pre-requisites Note that "tidy" is listed in IUSE and again as tidy?

In fact tidy and kompare are not strict requirements, but recommended additions, that the user is free to install after seeing the message. So I think it is best to not add them as dependencies.
