Description Marvin Beer 2009-08-07 18:49:55 UTC

If running emerge --depclean, portage would remove sys-libs/db-4.6 which is a NEEDED lib for net-analyzer/vnstat-1.6 and 1.7!

-> portage breaks a dep.!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Installing vnstat (will install sys-libs/db-4.6 as a dep. if no sys-libs/db-4.6 found)
2. emerge --depclean
3. emerge cleans sys-libs/db-4.6
4. vnstat wouldnt work anymore until reinstalling sys-libs/db-4.6

Actual Results:  
vnstat works again but emerge --depclean will remove sys-libs/db-4.6

Expected Results:  
DON'T remove sys-libs/db-4.6, portage!

It may need a RDEP against it possibly.
