Description James Rowe 2005-10-14 22:24:06 UTC
net-misc/socat depends on sys-apps/tcp-wrappers which isn't listed in its
dependencies list.  The attached patch adds the dependency via the tcpd USE
flags, which appears to be the common way to express this dependency.

  Without the attached patch, if tcp-wrappers is installed on the system the
tools are linked against libwrap.  Obviously, breakage occurs if
tcp-wrappers are then unmerged.

Reproducible: Always
