Bug 100817 – imlib-1.9.14-r3 has inutile dependencies

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Lorenzo Villani 2005-07-30 08:35:52 UTC]

this ebuild for imlib has the old gtk+ and glib packages as dependencies. I've
tried to compile imlib with --nodeps and compilation was succesfull. I think
that these are inutile dependencies

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =imlib-1.9.14-r3



Expected Results:  
Cut out the inutile dependencies.

The gnome herd refuses to change this, because current versions of Portage do
not deal with optional second level dependencies.
