Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Your package is runtime-depending on sys-devel/flex standing to http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/rindex/sys-devel/flex . Flex is a tool used almost always at build-time, as it generates the source code for a parser. This means that it should only be depended at build-time.

Please correct your ebuild or document why it is used as a runtime-dependency so that it will not be suspected again.

Thanks,
Diego

x11-base/kdrive is now package.masked. KDrive is now provided by x11-base/xorg-server where this bug has already been fixed.

Thanks
