Description impulze 2007-09-28 16:04:39 UTC

well the uclibc profile blocks sys-apps/man and virtual/man which is required for man-pages... which is required if userland_GNU is set when building diffutils.
probably one shouldn't depend on it on uclibc profiles
i provided a patch and the ebuild itself

SpanKY.. Can we get rid of this bogus rdep now? 
I think most ppl have had time to upgrade coreutils..

Seemed to work fine on a "embedded" glibc profile as well when ignoring man-pages dep with --nodeps on a FEATURES=noman system...

solar fixed this recently, and enough time has passed for the original reason it was added
